Lafsword – Turn what off and on?  The Interweb?  Where’s the switch?  :twisted:

Slab – Sure most of the Interweb is Linux!

Doc – That did cross my mind, but then I would have expected someone to have mentioned it.

Without DNS resolution your human-friendly URLs won’t respond; if only partially poisoned, a name server somewhere down the line will eventually resolve the site, but slowly, obviously.

DNS isn’t really needed, of course: one could input the IP, but will soon become less of an optin as IPv6 slowly wends its way into place; that notation is a wonder to behold.

One of the more recent victims was GoDaddy, which seemingly hosts half the world, albeit somewhat scantily….

Don’t force it.
Use a hammer.
