#12It went down at around 2239 GMT. I've not seen a hint on Twitter to suggest that it was a DDOS, though I guess that doesn't rule it out. @timweber: "So yes, it doesn't look too good. both internal and external DNS are down, by the sounds of it." Edit: @richard_webber: "Not just DNS down for the BBC, they've been taken off the Internet completely, no routing to AS2818."
Allegedly BGP routing issue: 23:26:01 cr0.ixnlon#sh ip bgp 132.185.132.21 23:26:01 % Network not in table
132.185.0.0/16 is back up but 212.58.0.0/16 isn't.
EDIT: 132.185.0.0/16 has gone again. (actually it's a bit less than a /16 but I don't feel like looking it up)

Been down for a while now; no official Tweets from any of the official BBC Twitter accounts it seems.
Edit: It's backup now. Was done for about 1 hour and 20 minutes.

#17Thankfully, nuclear missiles are only launched if radio stations are down, not websites. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1090400/HMS-Apocalyp... "How on earth does [the submarine commander] know if the PM has been killed and the normal chain of command obliterated? For obvious reasons, no one we spoke to would elaborate on the precise protocols. Suffice it to say that there is a complicated series of checks t…
There would be little point in carrying on without radio 4 anyway to be honest.
