Yep. The former server was my own: there was also a gopher.route-add.net
host. But that was the time when those host names both resolved to
80.68.194.26, that was my ADSL connection's public IP address. I now no
longer have an ADSL connection and I had to move my mail and web servers to
a hosting facility (alessandro.route-add.net now resolves into
195.182.210.150) that does not offer a gopher service as an option to its
customers.
About the deploying of a UMN gopherd server: though things might have
changed since then, on march 13th 2004 John Goerzen wrote the following
commenting my running a public UMN gopherd 3.0.3 server:

Gopherd is no longer maintained. Security holes were being
found in it on a regular basis, and nobody really had the
inclination to give it a thorough security audit given the
fact that more advanced Gopher servers existed. Therefore,
I would strongly urge you *NOT* to deploy UMN Gopherd.
