The three individual addresses of Firenet servers are:

     firenet-1.aprs2.net
     firenet-2.aprs2.net
     firenet-3.aprs2.net

Any of those should work as well.  "firenet.us" and "firenet-1.aprs.2.net" are the same machine.

Once the bogus server is out of the rotation, the preferred address will be "firenet.aprs2.net" again because it spreads the load across all three servers.
