Having paid attention to this thread, im having issues with all pop3 
communication to google mail severs for about the past 24 hours for another 
email account.  Noticed it when outlook started throwing send and receive 
errors before I went to sleep last night.

There are issues between Google and Comcast in the Denver area for at
least the last 12 hours. Pages are sporadically stalling before load
(indefinitely as far as I can tell). I found a gmail message I'd sent
more than 30 minutes prior still processing. This is affecting all
google services that I've tried so far.

However, I don't see any evidence this problem is DNS-related, and have
not otherwise been experiencing name resolution problems or had any
other recent Comcast connectivity issues.

So, if there's a clue-wielder from either company around, I'm happy to
provide traces and dumps if you want to ping me offlist.

Isn't 'specific' good for operations related stuff?  I mean if you are just
complaining about something for the sake of complaining or are giving
examples I can see where names wouldn't be necessary.

Re: an over-the-top data center

2008-12-08 Thread Bill Stewart
Data centers in used nuclear bunkers aren't new - www.thebunker.net
has done that for a decade in the UK.  They found that having a
cool-looking site made it easy to sell to bankers who wanted
reassurance about physical security, and at least with the computer
technology of the time it was easy to do HVAC, since the place was
naturally cold, and they had good redundant power grid connectivity to
work with.

As far as the risks of publishing the location of your data centers
go, I've generally been on the pro-publishing side; real attackers
would *never* think of looking for the large building downtown with no
windows, or looking for a data center business named "One Wilshire"
near Wilshire Blvd (:-)  More seriously, though, many customers need
physical diversity for their circuits, and while it's more reliable to
get that from a single fiber carrier than try to get predictable
diversity from multiple carriers, there's still a need to do some
auditing.

Of course, if you've got a bunker already, it's pretty cheap to get
your CEO a monocle and a white cat, whereas if you're starting with
the monocle and the cat, getting a bunker can be fairly expensive.
