through the proxy at this time:

    * arxiv.org : A website for submitting / archiving / retrieving
      nuclear physics papers
    * www-spires.fnal.gov : A comprehensive database of High Energy
      Physics paper
    * doe.gov, energy.gov : The Department of energy website
    * www.fnal.gov : Fermi National Laboratory (and other DOE Labs)

If you have additions to the list that are mission critical, please 
submit them to helpdesk at jlab.org <mailto:helpdesk at jlab.org>.
