The "master" DNS servers for the rattlesnakecam.com domain are broken. DNS information expires after a period of time and the info has to be re-looked up. This is normally a seamless process, but when the master server no longer passes out new info, then things start to break down. Sometimes a DNS server (like OpenDNS) is setup to hold on to information long past the expiration date, which helps when there are issues like this. Other times, it causes different problems (like when a server is moved to a new IP address but a DNS server is still telling people to use the old IP).
