Seems to be what the validator says.  Is the server trying to
do something silly like serve different things to different IP
addresses?

I just asked Martin on IRC - he tried it from a shell
(among other things).

<MJDuerst> duerst@validator:~$ telnet fps.boomtown.net 80
<MJDuerst> Trying 62.243.74.242...
<MJDuerst> Connected to boomtown.net.
<MJDuerst> Escape character is '^]'.

That doesn't happen from elsewhere, and I'd suspect that
whoever configured your server may be to blame.

You can validate the page with Valet or the WDG validator.
