Outage Today (Tues)
« on: 26 May 2026, 09:26:21 »

Both primary and secondary DNS auth servers have failed.

This means you will be able to access until your local DNS cache expires, then your get Server Not Found type errors.

Sadly, I can't access the infrastructure for the primary DNS until later - but do know its a hardware failure. The secondary is being looked at by it's provider, but might need the primary to sync to once it's up.

http://217.155.56.220 will work, as it bypasses DNS, but it will look weird due to the static images needing DNS working.

I'm hoping thats starting to resolve properly for most people, though it may take a whiile to proporgate due to caching

………

I thought it would be something like that.  ::) :) 

After a long conversation with my wife she said “What’s up, something wrong with the forum”?  Not sure what she’s trying to say.  ;D

She keeps a careful eye on you.  Not due to your dicky ticker and blood pressure concerns, just simply she knows you need constant supervision....

So the current story is the primary DNS Auth is up, and purring away nicely here.

The Boy Raj tells me the secondary is, to quote him directly, butt oppsed on national TV - a quote from Die Hard I believe.  I suspect his server melted, much like the ones here that run OOF....   ...although the forum kept running if you knew how to bypass DNS, although was running like a crock until the hypervisors were restarted.  They now have additional desk fans at full chat on them, and might have to find another to get one on the router as well, as thats cooking.

Looking at options for other secondaries, or if Raj can sort out a new one, as running with 1 DNS is a bit risky ;D

However it turns out, you’ve done a brilliant job.

Not one I would want to repeat from years ago, so hats off to you TB…

Well she needs to try harder since a recent road trip which included the North Devon Link Road, especially if she doesn’t want to become our main driver.  :-X   
Incidentally, if you go through three average speed cameras at a ridiculously slow speed due to a slow vehicle in front, but go past the last one like a bat out of hell, is it a total average or can the last camera be used on its own. Asking for a friend.  ::)
Day 23 now but I’ve been here twice before with that one if you recall, so I’m not counting my chickens yet.  ::)
