[Martin]

I'm on 3 too. its Hella fast (so this is what subscribers experience!)


How many are there anyway?


it doesnt matter if the primary is down, all traffic should be directed towards the remaining.

perhaps something is wrong with the load balancer? I seem to recall Anand making his own.

As has been reported in GH and FI, a load balancer has been having issues (apparently due to the wonderful hard drive engineering of IBM)

Zuni, earlier today:

<< Nah the web/db servers didn't have any issues at all, when the load balancer can't respond then www. forums. and subscriber. are gone thats all the servers are all still there. >>

Not anymore it seems.


I just pinged forums.anandtech.com


Looks like the end of my speedy run. Oh well, that was enjoyable

 

[Martin]

If you refresh 'home' several times, people are logging back at about 12/second.


haha.

 

[Rallispec]

maybe things will start picking up around here again.

 

[lowtech1]

forums.anandtech.com is still down, but forums1, forums2 & forums3 is working perfectly.

 

[Rallispec]

hmmm.. or maybe not


i just tried going back to subscriber.anandtech and it was really slow, timed out, didnt work--- and things aren't picking up in this forum.. i'm not sure where the 200 people that are logged on came from.

I was getting the same

 

[Viper GTS]

Traceroutes to forums.anandtech.com & subscriber.anandtech.com during the outage timed out within the network of AT's web host. So it was definitely a problem on their end, whether "they" is AT or their web host I don't know.

[Nocturnal]

subscribtion side was down up until i checked right now.

 

[HOWITIS]
