    That's a pretty common mistake, I think.

    The resolution issues were pretty short-lived -- my first few posts in this thread actually give a pretty accurate time line (we went down around 5:30 and had enough of our infrastructure back online for complete end-user resolution by 7:30). Due to the anycast infrastructure used by easyDNS not everyone would've seen problems to begin with -- we spread the load across dozens of servers globally, so while some were overloaded others were able to fulfill requests throughout the entire period.

    I'm hesitant to give more details since this is my professional life I'm talking about, but things are well in hand now and we're not expecting further problems. I'm on vacation this week but the rest of the team I work with will be neck deep in post mortems and action plans by now.
