My server that was known as dvcstable01.dvcnode.org is still running and is also known as LFM.knotwork.com, and still runs all the many and various coins it has been running all along.
Existing nodes should work as they will have it in their peers lists, some coins let you add peers while they are running others need them on the command-line when you start them or in their config file if you use the config files.

Thanks for the clarification Mark! It means that we have a workaround solution for old wallets that depend on your expiring dvcnode.org domain name. Both the command line and devcoin.conf allow to add known seed nodes other than the hardcoded (your old subdomains dvcstable01, dvcstable02, dvcstable03, ...). Long history short, instructions:
- In the command line, add the params -seednode=hostname to devcoind comand (typically for devcoind instances). For example:
$ devcoind -seednode=seed01.devcoin.org -seednode=seed02.devcoin.org
OR alternatively:
- In the configuration file devcoin.conf, add the following:
seednode=seed01.devcoin.org
seednode=seed02.devcoin.org
seednode=seed03.devcoin.org
seednode=seed04.devcoin.org
People running old versions of devcoin client (v0.8.5 and older), please confirm that with the methods above you can still sync with the network.

The second option worked for me. I had to create the devcoin.conf file as it didn't already exist, but it worked and my wallet is all synced up
