For more information on the root cause of this outage see Leslie Carr's
description sent to wikitech-l:
http://lists.wikimedia.org/pipermail/wikitech-l/2012-July/061599.html.  The
way the routers were bouncing is the reason it was intermittent and
continued to work for some people while breaking for others.
