SMIL dtd

Hello,

I saw on your system status page that your server is responding slowly  
to DTD requests. Is there any update on this problem? We have a  
validation process that requests the SMIL DTD (http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-smil/SMIL10.dtd 
) that started failing last week. We are able to retrieve the DTD  
instantly using curl, but when we request the DTD from our java  
program (running on the same machine) we get a 500 server error every  
time. There hasn't been a change to our program and we are able to  
retrieve other DTDs with it successfully. We're not making requests to  
the web server very often, and we're able to retrieve the DTD using  
curl, so it doesn't seem like our IP address is being blocked. Any  
help on this would be greatly appreciated.

thanks,
Andrea
