Hi There,

The site was down this night because we had an DDOS attack that was aimed at another machine behind the same link that polaris is running on. This was between 00:00 and 01:00. This issue has now been resolved and we hope it won't happen again.

Then again at approximately 15:00 disaster struck again. Due to some unforeseen problems during an scheduled maintenance to replace a broken UPS we had some issues on the router which caused polaris to remain unconnected to the internet for approx 45 minutes. This issue has also been resolved. However I don't trust MGE's Pulsar Evolution 1500 UPS's anymore. Under load they seem to fall down. Maybe it's time to connect the MGE's Comet S11 UPS's we have bought a couple of months ago for use in the Sittard colo (UPDATE 19-04-2004:They are in use now. pictures!).

Ohw, btw It seems I've won the ISP Kart Competitie APC Lasergame Compo. 1st , 2nd and 3rd place because of no-shows! Thanks dave for organizing such a nice event. For more coverage about the competition I refer to Kirstens Elog (dutch).
