Sorry for those of you who were trying to get to the site earlier. It turns out that our hosting company came under attack from a major Denial of Service. From the support folks:
UPDATE (2007-04-08 03:20 PDT): It appears we are the victims of an Easter DOS attack against our nameservers, we have an admin at the datacenter and our network expert onhand to deal with it. Hopefully things will be back to normal shortly.
UPDATE (2007-04-08 04:54 PDT): We seem to have isolated and resolved the DoS attack for the moment. All of our DNS servers have been resolving domains correctly and without pause for the past 20 minutes now so it appears that this nasty episode is behind us. We’ll be mopping up and fixing servers that might’ve crashed or otherwise gone wonky in the interim. Again, our sincerest apologies for all the downtime.
Many thanks to the vigilant crew!
