Network Outage Over

Oct

2007

At about 5:00 tonight, this server went AWOL. Nothing on he web side, no responses to pings, no DNS resolution, etc. What was particularly scary was that I also couldn't reach the support pages necessary to submit a trouble ticket. Being prone to an active imagination, I was suddenly envisioning my server admin packing up and shuttering the service.

Of course, that was unfounded, as was revealed when I got through. It was little more than a network switch going out and rendering everything behind it isolated from the greater network.

Things are now back up and running. Let me know if you see leftover problems.
