[IMC-Tech] Chambana.net back up...

[dan blah]

Hey all,
After a good day of fun wrestling with the server and our new ISP 
(Insight Broadband) everything is back up and running.  It seems Insight 
likes to take weekends off as well.

Initially the problems started when Insight apparently changed DHCP 
servers making requests from our server incompatible with our DHCP 
client (unknowingly to us until discovered later yesterday night by 
Zach).  Earlier in the night we decided to just set static IP 
information which worked early in the evening and we all went back to 
doing what we were doing.  I fell asleep, Insight decided it didn't like 
our solution and we lost connectivity again.  With our new firewall 
working, Zach jumped back on to the chambana.net server and figured out 
the previously stated issue about the new DHCP server and we were 
back... with a new IP that our mail relay server didn't like.  So while 
I was sleeping everything was good except for the changes i needed to 
make on the mail relay.  As you are reading this I woke up and made 
those changes.

Sorry again for the downtime.  Note that we have been given a date of 
May 9th (tomorrow) for expected downtime.  Insight is doing a major 
server upgrade as well as changing their ISP on that day.
