Todd,

I've confirmed (using a local web server as a registry) that a plain  
IP address will work - so could you go ahead and change the /registry/ 
peers.txt file as above please? BTW when I did that test, I saw the  
WestGrid bridge.

Until that change at http://www.accessgrid.org/registry/peers.txt is  
made (or the DNS entry for vv3.accessgrid.org is created), a  
workaround for users is to add:
     http://wilson.vislab.uq.edu.au/registry/peers.txt
as a Bridge Registry in the VenueClient's Preferences->Bridging section
