[UKFSN Status] Normal Service Restored

[Jason Clifford]

Over the past few days UKFSN has had a lot of problems arising from the 
failure of one of the core servers and a number of other servers being hit 
by fallout from that.

I have now managed to get the core server back into service so everything 
should be back to normal now.

I have also managed to get the UKFSN email filtering service back online 
and bring the mailing list server back into service as well - fixing the 
core server gave me the chance to be here in Docklands to effect the 
necessary hardware fixes.

At this point I have identified 2 servers that I need to completely 
replace with new hardware. I have the new hardware in place but I have not 
effected the switch over yet as I will be carrying out a few additional 
changes while moving things over so as to ensure better resilience and 
better performance.

During the past 3 days I have already made a number of changes which were 
already in the pipeline as part of the process of restoring services 
following the core server failure. These changes will enable me to move 
UKFSN forward and hand over direct control of DNS records to customers 
among other things.

It's Stupid O Clock now and everything seems to be working properly so I 
will go home and have some rest. The rest of today (Monday) I may be a 
little slow in responding to non urgent support requests as I have things 
to catch up on.
