[Hidden-tech] Note: Major internet outage at Rackspace

[Michael Klatsky]

Thanks for sending this out , Rich.

Specifically, this is a DNS outage as reported by RackSpace:

DNS Connectivity Issues

We are monitoring a connectivity issue impacting our DNS environment that began at approximately 01:10 CST December 22nd. Our engineers have taken steps to mitigate impact from this issue, however some of our customers may continue to experience intermittent periods of latency, packet loss, or connectivity failures when attempting to reach rackspace.com or subdomains within rackspace.com. This may also continue to impact customer DNS resolution during this time. Our engineers are engaged and continuing work to stabilize the environment.

Thank you for your continued patience as we work to resolve this issue. If you have any further questions or concerns, please contact a member of your support team.

This effects any website or service at Rackspace OR using Rackspace DNS  
This effects 1000's of sites, if not millions.  

It is not a function of your local computers - the basic operating of these sites is busted,  
not idea when it will be resolved - we can be sure RS is running crazy to fix it.
