I'm Google's DNS (8.8.8.8, 8.8.4.4) and can't load images on Craigslist right now, after flushing my DNS.

Google Public DNS allows anyone to flush its caches (https://developers.google.com/speed/public-dns/cache). I've gone ahead and flushed "images.craigslist.org" which may help.

Oh, wow, that'll come in handy, thanks.

Their registrar is Network Solutions. The last update to "craigslist.org" there was at 2014-11-24T03:26:40Z, so something did happen to the records at Network Solutions recently.

Network Solutions is the worst registrar ever.

Never even search for your domain availability there, they used to temporarily squat it "for your convenience" and hold it for two weeks. We once got hit by that pretty bad.

Yeah - I'm surprised they are still in business, really. But then, I'm equally surprised that godaddy are.
