Re: What happened to FreeBSD.org DNS earlier today?

2012-03-11 Thread Julian H. Stacey
 No -- you were not imagining things.  The DNS for freebsd.org was
 temporarily broken.  It was that most impossible to remove of causes:
 human error.

Thats good,  as it means not sun spots aka EMP aka gammma :-)

Cheers,
Julian

Or the first ominous foreshadowing of the apocalyptic event(s) to unfold
later this year, come December.  :-)

I mean, if FreeBSD's DNS can go down, The End must certainly be near.
The falcon cannot hear the falconer.  Things fall apart.  The center
cannot hold.  Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world, and so on and so
forth.

Are you sure it wasn't the evildoers?  You know, the terrists?
Maybe laying the groundwork for a nucular strike?

Unless you are a right wing fascist; i.e. Limbaugh or Hannity, then you
blame Obama or Clinton.

Did anyone else notice this?  Any word on what was causing it?  I have
to admit, it was rather startling at first.



Do you have any further details? What are you using for DNS servers,
or are you doing lookups yourself?



Actually, around the same time others were reporting another site (not
fbsd, which I could access easily) was broken. So maybe a dark cloud
passed over? ;)
