Saw that issue last night myself, but I assumed it was the occasional ordinary wonky this site has.

Yep it is a DNS problem. If you can be bothered to do anything about it , Richard has shown you how to do it. Me? i'm spending the day in the garden with the DT crossword and a beer (or 2 or 3).
And for once you can bitch at the UNI. ADNS1.berkeley.edu has no clue Seti exists. Did Eric forget to pay the bill before he went on vacation? ;-)
I have it on good authority that the DNS server belongs to the Space Science Laboratory - and they certainly know SETI exists.

Apparently, it kept running through a power outage, but lost comms with the rest of the network.

Ah, I may have a picture of it! When I went on the lab tour in 2011, I was shown ancillary kit in a couple of other rooms apart from the closet. The kit there was the back-room support gear and may well have included the DNS thingy. Er? power outage? Do we not have UPS's anywhere?

Question - is the DNS server still at the SSL or did it go to the CoLo with the rest of the stuff?
No idea - the conversation didn't need to go into that level of detail. I think they've been given a wake-up call and there'll probably be internal discussions between the teams involved.

Lost comms - forgot to plug a switch into a UPS.

The ADNS1 is the authoritative name server for Berkeley. Obviously if the SSL DNS doesn't answer it when it asks (broadcast packet?) what sub domains do you have ... then campus doesn't know the SSL exists.

Yup, that was pretty much my reply too. The reply was

"Our assumptions about their setup often don't match reality."

Sorry, you don't know who I was talking to, and you don't know what we were talking about. Suffice to say that my report of yesterday's DNS outage reached the right place, and I know that they know what happened and why. Let's leave it there.

Eric has already gone on public record to say that if another university offered to host Seti, he would look at it.

He would give up his tenured faculty position?

If your referring to Seti, yes. The project has a weekly maintenance downtime for approx. 12 hours. It mostly occurs on a Tuesday.

Ah yes, $h|t happens. Well it isn't life critical so it doesn't have to be failure tested.

@chris, if you followed, the failure was not Campus/IST related. Failure was in the Silver Space Science Lab on equipment not maintained by Campus/IST. Oh and more than just Seti@home was affected.

Ah, poor babies, how long has that patch been available now?

Where is Martin to tell them what a bad choice in O/S they made?

I'm pretty good at impressions...

Uh-oh! Does FAILdows strike again?

[lots of out of context copy and paste text from an article]

It is what we patched it.

SSL Projects

Good list, to answer Chris, those projects with url's matching *.berkeley.edu but not *.ssl.berkeley.edu
