Problem: [59594] City Lifeline - DNS/Data transfer problems Status: Closed
Problem description Added on: 03/12/2009 @ 12:23

At about 12.15pm the CSC call queues rocketed. This seemed to be from customers who had lost data transfer. Affected users seemed to be those using the DNS caches at our PCL data centre.

Problem is related to the load balancer upgrade - http://usertools.plus.net/status/archive/1259794367.htm

We've disabled access to the DNS platform at PCL and all requests are now being routed to the working site.

Customers should no longer be affected. Continuing to Investigate root cause.
