two things.  

so how did you find it?  i was wondering if i could find a useful atlas
probe or nlring node, and how to find them.

secondly, i gotta snark that the ui maximizes the eurocracy to do a
seemingly simple
    dig @probe psg.com. a
and
    ping psg.com
and it does not even serve coffee during the hour the dig and ping are
"running."  (quaint use of the gerund).

i am not great at json, but looks to me as if it is a dns failure

http://dnsviz.net/d/psg.com/dnssec/ thinks the dnssec glorp is fine.
