UK Server Downtime

Due to RapidSwitch encountering unforeseen problems with their router software upgrade last night, there have been large bouts of downtime over the last 24 hours when the UK server has been unreachable.

We have set up a secondary/backup DNS service which will store a copy of the main DNS server's records, so that you are still able to resolve the US and DE server's IP addresses during any future downtime.

In addition, we have removed the UK server from the DNS round-robin for irc.J3di.org, and are also redirecting the records for the UK server to point at the US server until this crisis has abated.

For more frequent (and always available) updates, you might like to follow @J3di_IRC, @Fr3d_org or even @RapidSwitch on Twitter.

We'd also like to pass on RapidSwitch's profuse apologies for the disruption caused by this downtime.

  1. Hopefully it settles down for now, and stays up. Still, RapidSwitch should have had backup routers in place for these kinds of problems!
