Just got one of the servers up now. I will be working on it for the next few hours. I will know more later.

Around 9:15 am yesterday there was some kind of major cable cut in our area which killed a high capacity line (I am told it was an OC12) and it took down several hundred smallers circuits including ours. We were told at the time the repair would likely be done by the afternoon. Later in the day our upstream provider claimed it would be done later or overnight. We were told that due to so many circuits being knocked out that they would be working overnight to fix it.

I came in at 5am to check on things and called our upstream provider (Transbeam) who told me
that in fact Verizon stopped work last night and would be going back at 8am. I told them about
how I was told that they would work overnight and nobody is taking the blame for that lie.
So at 5:30am I ordered a couple of new servers to replace the ones here that handle our primary and secondary dns and am waiting for the provisioning of them to complete. Once they are done we
can put the dns live and most of the accounts should come back up. There are some older accounts
on servers here that will have to be moved to new servers, but we will have to see how much
comes up.

I wish I had an exact time line on all of this. Everyone seems to tell one story and then change it
later. We have had outtages before, but nothing ever like this. Even with cable cuts in the past
it was 4-5 hours, not a full day.

Some upset clients ...
