Can anyone get into the Apache website? (www.apache.org) Seems to be down but it may just be our corporate firewall.

Down here as well, it was down last week as well from here
I seem to remember seeing someone saying on Usenet last night that there's a big 'pipe' down somewhere that will be affecting quite a bit of routing. I couldn't get to www.richersounds.com last night (still can't) and I also can't get to www.apache.org.

Not sure about why Apache is unavailable (unless UK traffic somehow routes to a transparent UK-based mirror), but the explosion took out Northgate Information Solutions, who host several high-profile customers, including Richer. The Register talks about it: http://www.theregister.co.uk/2005/12/12/richer_asos/ ...and the BBC has a take too: http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/business/4520566.stm The irony is that Northgate's backup and service-continuity solution was, er, apparently in the same building...

It's crazy but I have seen this so many times. My other favourites are backup tapes kept in a neat little box next to the server and of course the obligatory "but we don't need a backup we have RAID"

Richer Sounds were hosted there, yes. I'd expect apache to have more than one host, surely? Tim.
