Thank you for the hints, actually my problem was, that I wished 
to access the DUB docs.
And the strange thing was, that even the google cache tried to 
connect to code.dlang.org during delivery of the cached page, so 
that even looking on the cached google content took quite a long 
time before there was a timeout.

Therefore we should think about placing these kinds of infos 
about DUB not on the DUB server at code.dlang.org.
