No, we had a somewhat severe DNS problem.

The zope.org domain nameserver happens to be the machine that also hosts
classic.zope.org, lists.zope.org and cvs.zope.org. This machine went down, and
then had network problems when rebooted by the co-location facilities.

Also, our secondairy nameserver, that should've provided failover in this
case, was misconfigured, and didn't play its role.

As a result of this all, noone could resolve the domain 'zope.org'.
