[WikiEN-l] Firefox can't find the server at en.wikipedia.org.

[George Herbert]

It's all over the tech blog and wider net - but to repeat it here,
there was a cooling failure at the datacenter the European servers are
in, there was a DNS glitch in the recovery procedures for a datacenter
outage for routing the traffic back to Florida, and the DNS outage has
resolved itself for nearly everyone by now.

The secure server is still down, but nearly everything else should be
more or less all up, running out of Florida.

See for example:
