[QUOTE=Dreamhost at 02:32 EST]Our admins are continuing to see networking issues in a specific row of servers at our LAX data center. They are checking for any abuse of the network, such as attacks or DDOS. This network problem is unfortunately affecting a number of mysql servers in this row. Some of the servers affected include:

This may have also been the cause of the outage earlier today for one rack of dedicated servers, posted [URL=”http://www.dreamhoststatus.com/2011/05/11/dedicated-networking-issues-at-lax-data-center/”]here[/URL].[/QUOTE]
