Adam,

Great story. Perhaps Name Administration should look into having a secondary site for cases like this as well.

How long was the outage for in total, do you know?

I was there when the lights went out. Funny how this slow down when you don’t have access to your high tech toys.

It was like the 80′s again.

Hitfarm domains were not affected – they have a complete secondary serving location outside of Vancouver. Their corporate sites and hitfarm.com itself were down, but not revenue-generating properties.
