Don't blame the MailScanner site!

#$^&#$*&*$!!! 

I just got through two hours of watching routes go up and down from various
places on the Internet to our DNS servers :( 

At times it looked like our DNS servers were down (twern't) or our mail was
broken (twasn't). Our servers were fine; they were just hard to get to at
times. 

The ISP at one of our DNS server locations was even having intermittent
problems routing within their own data center! 

It looks like all is settling down now but I have to say - today was not a
good day on the Internet.  

"Tomorrow is another day"
