[scl.org] IP address range for firewall config?

I'm trying to use some of the software collections at 
softwarecollections.org, but the machine I would like to install them on 
lives behind a firewall.  We had configured our firewall to allow our 
machines to access the IP address 192.163.255.63, which used to be the 
address of softwarecollections.org, but it appears that it has recently 
moved to AWS hosting, and softwarecollections.org is currently resolving 
to 54.221.198.169 ... at least for the moment, from here.  Is this 
permanent?  Can you tell me what range of addresses we now actually need 
to allow in order to be assured our machines can get to 
softwarecollections.org?  Any thoughts of possibly providing a single, 
fixed front-end IP for downloads from firewalled machines? Also, it 
would be helpful if such details were documented on the 
softwarecollections.org website.

One other thing:  On the page 
https://www.softwarecollections.org/en/about/, under "Who Runs 
SoftwareCollections.org?" it says:

> If you have any questions about the site, its content, or software 
> hosted here, please contact admin at softwarecollections.org 
> <mailto:admin at softwarecollections.org>.

Email to that address fails, "User unknown."
