This is really a bizarre one! Earlier today I spot checked a couple of
our Springer titles assuming we might be affected by this problem. All
our links start with http://link.springer.de/ but in contrast to others
on this list our links appear to have been working for the duration of
this discussion. I've checked on several occasions now and we have no
redirects, no sign of a MetaPress interface ... very strange indeed!
