Hi All,

I’ve been searching the mailing lists looking for an answer and i  
couldnt find one so im just gonna ask.

Is [dev.rubyonrails.com](http://dev.rubyonrails.com) down?

I have some projects linked to the rails trunk and when i update it  
takes like 5 minutes to download the files. The machines downloading  
the updates are servers in NOC centers so i am ruling out machine  
slowness.

Anyone know where i could find out what’s going on?

thanks

jake

A major attack on the root DNS servers began yesterday. It continues.
