Tue Oct 1 16:52:35 PDT 2002 — Supernews (supernews.sonic.net) is off-line due to a failure in their network. They have been notified of the problem and are working to resolve it, but they do not yet have an ETR. -Nathan
Update: Supernews has fixed their network outage. They describe their trouble as a “yet undetermined massive failure in the networking fabric” upstream of them, for more info see status.supernews.com/ -Dane
Tue Oct 1 14:30:45 PDT 2002 — This AM, Above.net (another colocation and hosting provider) blocked IP access from our network due to the actions of a Sonic.net customer. We’ve communicated with Above.net, and they’ve agreed to eliminate the block, and this is in progress now. Some websites have been unreachable, and mail to and from some remote domains has been delayed. -Dane, Eli, Scott and Scott
Update: Above.net has removed all of their blocks finally, and I think we have them understanding that route-black-holing us without any notice doesn’t make a whole lot of sense. -Dane
