DNS Outage

Apologies for the slight outage this morning. Although the site was here and working fine, no-one could see it due to an outage at our DNS provider. In fact, if you are behind a firewall or ISP with long cache times you might not even have noticed.

Aside from NoBMoB being out, this is quiet disturbing as all my personal mail stopped working, as did a few other important things.

Anyhow - have spread the DNS delegation between existing guys and another server so hopefully this won't happen again. In fact, we may gain access to another very reliable DNS provider shortly (the current one is free - go figure!) and this is a good reason to move when that happens.

I was logged in last night for a few hours, but at about 10:40pm the site was down. My internet was still working. So maybe Rod the DNS outage or whatever issue started then? That was a sign for me to go to bed...
