Is rulesemporium having issues again?
I can rarely get there (via a browser). So rarely the site is
almost useless.
I've been having intermittent issues getting there from home for a
while. Last time it happened, the site was down. I still can't get
there....
Hum. I just tried again, and didn't have any problems this time
either.
Guess I'm lucky.

As I said, we use a trick that makes the fetches work. It does not get
us tarred by the DoS filter. So access to the web site is really easy.
I also check "when I feel like it" rather than hourly as I've heard some
"people" work. Weekly is more than enough unless you see a notification
here. I got annoyed at the failed fetch one day and looked at the logs I
make. I saw the timeout errors. I worked to eliminate them. Why whine
when
you can fix it, eh love?
Joanne,
The errors have nothing to do with the DoS protection, but saturated
links. The insertion of a few seconds of delay between queries, or a
20 minute delay in my case, will do nothing to resolve the issue.
It fixed it like magic here and since then I've never seen a problem.
Go figure.
I've figured. I've even rubbed my head against every network
engineering degree, diploma and certificate that I've got laying around
and the best that I have come up with is the crazy idea that it's
possible that not every link to Prolexic is suffering from periodic
saturation.
Go figure.
