\nOur upstream supplier is investigating a DNS issue, which is believed to be causing the problem. <\/code><\/p>\nWe are now able to confirm that two nodes on our network where impacted by DNS issues between 17:13 and 17:45 today. As many of you will be aware there have been some major DOS attacks today which impacted a number of key sites at this time so we are attributing this issue to that attack.<\/p>\n
