Webserver outage

Dreamhost wrote:On July 11, 2008 starting at 10pm we will have a brief network outage to restructure our routing tables. We are planning two hours to deal with any quirks that may come up, however our Cisco network engineer estimates the total downtime to be under 30 minutes.

During this downtime DreamHost will be completely inaccessible, however no data will be lost. Email will be deferred on remote servers and delivered once the network comes back online.

This restructuring is to put the final fixes on various packet loss issues we have applied “band-aid” fixes to in the past, including installation of an extra core router at one of our facilities. Cisco TAC believes they have isolated the problem to duplication of routing information that will require changes to router interfaces to repair. Unfortunately this also requires that those interfaces be reconfigured from scratch, so there will be some downtime while this is done.
