[OT] Downtime

[Stewart Gordon]

I see the digitalmars servers are up and running once again.  They were 
down for quite a while.

Are www.digitalmars.com and news.digitalmars.com the same machine?  I'd 
guess so considering that they were down at the same time.  But why is 
there a failure mode by which www.digitalmars.com was delivering the 
content of www.digitaldaemon.com instead?

Speaking of downtime, it would be good if we had something on Wiki4D or 
somewhere, similar in concept to

http://openfacts.berlios.de/index-en.phtml?title=Wikipedia_Status

This would give people somewhere to go when the servers are down.  It 
could even give people a clue of what's going on and how long it's 
likely to take to fix (as much as is known).

Stewart.
