[sword-devel] www.crosswire.org down?

[Wes Widner]

Actually, on April 6th a very large majority of the internet's traffic WAS
routed through China. The reason is because they managed to poison the DNS
space (at the root level, the i-roots iirc).

I'm not exactly clear on all of the details, we were only briefed on this
the other day (I work with McAfee in the labs department), but it seems that
this wasn't the first occurrence and it probably won't be the last. So its
not a guarantee this is what was causing our outage, but it is certainly a
possibility.
