Connect here: 174.44.11.101

The other way to making "mc.yukkuricraft.net" work instead of that hideous IP requires Windows.
I do not know the commands for OSX.
Linux users: you don't need help. RTFM :^)

Anyways, in the future, if the IP changes again, you'll need to redo this but using the new IP at the current time.
Here's the short how-to!
1) Run "cmd" as administrator
2) Type/copy-paste: echo 174.44.11.101 mc.yukkuricraft.net >> %windir%/system32/drivers/etc/HOSTS
3) Close the command window and try to connect via Minecraft. If it doesn't work, you probably have the Windows DNS client disabled; leave it be and don't bother starting it. I wouldn't know why it's disabled, and I prefer to... you know... let your computer live for the 3-4 years it's supposed to?

If I/someone don't/doesn't post the new IP if this were to happen again, try toying with this site: http://tracert.com/resolver.html

My software doesn't have bugs. It just develops random features.
Do you have a hour emergency call systems broadcasting radio station WNYW or Internet Explorer? Well? Which one?
