The MacPorts domain was out for a while yesterday as our DNS provider, http://www.everydns.net was affected by a large scale DDoS attack. Their four geographically separated servers were taken down in the attack. You may read more about it on the everydns site. While we thought that four geographically distributed servers were sufficient, it turns out that might not be so when politics mean we may need organizational diversity in addition to geographic and topological diversity. We'll be adding a couple more secondaries from other sources to prevent this sort of thing from affecting us in the future. Let me know if you have any questions. James
