Hi All,
This morning there was a fire at the datacenter that houses our primary nameserver. The load spike caused trouble in our secondary and tertiary nameservers.
At the moment we still have two nameservers up and running:
ns1.penny-arcade.com : down
ns2.penny-arcade.com : down
ns3.penny-arcade.com : down
ns4.penny-arcade.com : up
ns5.penny-arcade.com : up
I figure most people won't see any performance trouble but if you guys hear anything on IRC/Ventrillo about trouble "resolving" penny-arcade.com, let me know.

Meanwhile, everything catches on fire.
Lots of people empathizing right now.
Things are going to be flaky for a while.
Is "a while" going to be long enough that we might want to add some entries to the hosts file in the event of future DNS outages?
