Unfortunately our server has given up after some previous trouble. New server
hardware was scheduled for delivery/installation on Friday. We're trying to
speed up that process and get the new server up as soon as possible.

Sorry for any inconvenience that may cause.

Just an update. We're getting the services slowly backup now.

It all started off with an overheating issue and a damaged harddrive. mirrored
drive took over, all fine. we missed out though to mark the second drive as
startup so on next reboot we were out of luck. of course we used dynamic
disks, which means it's not possible to just exchange and make startable, so
service installation, make the disk bootable and restart. all fine. new disk
in place, mirror rebuild running, suddenly about half way in, caboom. server
crashes, doesn't reboot. motherboard damaged due to previous heat exposure.
exchange, restart, back to mirror rebuild. caboom - crash again. new mainboard
damaged (again). turns out the power supply is damaged and just killed the new
board. enough. order of complete new machine. second thought: order 2 machines.

so there we are now, we're currently setting up the machines and resetting the
TTL's of our name services to allow for quick replace of a faulty server. data
will be synced on a quick schedule.

We do everything that this was the last time such trouble hit.

Hopefully everything is up and running by monday latest.

Sorry again for the inconvenience.
