Yes, but by now you probably know why we were down.  That national news thing.

The big fiber cut everyone heard about.  Over 500 individual lines.  $250k 
reward.  Lawsuits.  Force majeure and terrorism clauses in contracts being 
triggered.  Yeah, that one.

Making Chandler Hub and OSAF infrastructure resilient against issues of this 
magnitude is just not cost effective; it's a very hard problem to do for free 
and I don't think we want to charge.

Yes.  Also ISC of BIND, dhcpd, and a variety of other super-important Internet 
services.  They run one of the root name servers.  We are not at PAIX, we are 
at their offices, a warehouse that's quite built-up for hosting a variety of 
their core services.  But single-homed on a gigabit connection.
