Brief News Server Outage

May 20, 2009 – 1:52 pm by Kelsey

One of the switches that supports our diablo news server cluster stoped forwarding traffic until it was reset.  This is the second time the switch has failed recently so it has been slated for replacement shortly.  While the switch was offline the loadbalanced news.sonic.net virtual server was unavailable but all NNTP traffic was still flowing inside the network.  -Kelsey and Augie
