Do we know for sure what took it down?
I’m not an expert, but I thought it might have something to do with this:

Do we know for sure what took it down?
Jim Robinson reported that it was a server that crashed ... and he said "crashed hard" ... LOL ... so that was it ...
One of our primary servers crashed. We now have the main system running on a secondary server until John repairs or replaces the one that fried. We have several servers at FR all performing various functions. Each server has its own IP address so that’s why you may now be seeing a different IP. It was not a DOS attack. Nothing nefarious. Just a hardware crash. We usually have two servers serving web pages and two serving the database and others doing various tasks. Usually a server going off line wouldn’t crash the entire system but this time it did and John had a bit of a problem getting it all running again.
