Was that all within a short timescale, or was the issue over several hours?
You seem to be the first, and so far only, one to report this recent issue. _________________ Mark |

There was an issue that lasted an hour or so - Google's own DNS was timing out, and main server was relying on it. I have sinced changed it to alternate DNS servers.
Mirror server was not affected, as it was set to use a completely different DNS.
As for the complaint - this is the first issue in a long, long time that main server had an issue. I always make it clear, at every point, that this can happen with a single server. I do my best to make it as reliable as possible, but that mirror service has a purpose - it saves the day in situations such as this one.
Most users recognize benefit of this - at any point of time 60-65% of snipes are executed by both servers. |
