| Yes, when a DNS server is down, your requests (as far as I know) are generally routed to another one. |

| Its RARELY the DNS that is down. 4chan is working fine for me though. |

| You can go to websites via IP addresses - I pinged my schools webserver once, went to the IP address and ended up at some other schools website. If you ping, say, Google, and get it's IP address, and enter that it, you'll go to Google, DNS server or not. |

no, it would work because the problem is that the dns servers that redirect www.4chan.org to the ip address are down not the actual site it is actually the other way round as well, the domain name is a worded representation of the ip adress |

| The site still wouldn't work. The ip address is just a numerical representation of the domain name according to my IT professor... So I don't think it would work |
