Update 3:46 PM: Multiple parties have reported issues in delivery speed. We are rebooting the DEWEY server in order to clear out the cached memory.

Update 4:08 PM: We’ve been monitoring the server reboot via KVM. The server is in the process of installing windows updates before it completes the reboot.

Update 4:21 PM: The installation of the windows update has completed and the server is now stopping the Exchange services. The server should complete the reboot in the next 15 minutes.

Update 5:30 PM: After the reboot, the DEWEY transport started routing mail through one of it’s alias IPs instead of the primary IP, causing outgoing messages to be rejected as “Relaying denied, proper authentication required” The issue has been resolved and mail is routing out.

This morning around 8:45AM EST, we began to experience issues with many of the websites hosted in our Data Center.  The network issue occurred with our partner The Planet.  Network issues in their Houston Data Center caused many of our client websites to be unavailable. (This included this blog)  As of 9:20 AM EST, the issue appears to have been resolved.  We are waiting for more information from The Planet as to what the exact cause of the outage was, and how to prevent this issue from occurring again.  We appreciate your patience while we worked to resolve this issue, and sincerely apologize for any inconvenience.  We will update this post with additional information as it becomes available.

UPDATE: According to The Planet, “Our initial analysis shows that a circuit between Dallas and Houston caused the ~8 a.m. CDT network disruption, and it has been repaired.”  All websites hosted by Network Logix are back online.
