Update on Alabanza

As of 3:30pm this afternoon, many former Alabanza clients were still without their sites – and NaviSite was still scrambling to fix the issue.

NaviSite explains:

The primary concentration in resolving outstanding issues has been to bring up all of the name servers - as we continue to collaborate with Cisco to handle Address Resolution Protocol (ARP) issues.

As we were bringing more name servers online, ARP requests were overloading the network. As a result, we have been focusing squarely on ensuring the overall stability of the network.

It boggles the mind that it's now day four of the outage.
