Ooops, Tned mistake makes server unreachable for some
Sorry guys. I was changing how/where the DNS resolution for BroncosForums is done, so that if there was ever a major server crash, we could quickly fall over to (move to) the backup server.
This should have been a seamless, behind the scenes change, but as I started to set it up months ago, when we had the old server, it still had the old server IP addresses and I didn't realize it.
So, anyone that tried to hit BroncosForums during the 8 minutes or so that the wrong IP was listed, was sent to the old server IP, and BF would fail to load. Since the timeout (TTL) was set to 30 minutes, anyone that did get that server down message, would keep getting it for 30 minutes, until the TTL expired.
Sorry, dumb mistake on my part.
