We would like to inform you about an upcoming maintenance for our DNS

cluster, which will take place on Sunday, November 6th, 2011 at 12:00AM EDT at

our US data center facility (DC2). We have set the maintenance window for 5 hours.


Our DNS cluster is currently used by virtually all servers in the US

data center (DC2) and is responsible for all recursive DNS lookups, as well as

serving as the authoritative server for all of the Hostdime.com

corporate domains. The current cluster has been in operation for close

to 4 years and while we have not seen any significant issues with it, we

would like to replace it with a new and improved setup, which would

offer us more capacity and redundancy.


During the maintenance, all servers that utilize our internal DNS

resolvers (66.7.206.2, 66.7.207.2, 72.29.64.2, 72.29.65.2) will

experience sporadic DNS lookup problems. DNS lookups are performed by

most of the services that run on any given server and thus are likely to

affect the server's performance. While you will still be able to access

your server, it is possible that you will see sporadic issues with mail

services, slower website loading and potential website outages during the

aforementioned maintenance window.


The maintenance involves removing the old DNS cluster servers and

racking the new servers. To minimize DNS downtime, we will be putting

the old DNS cluster back online in a temporary location until the new

DNS cluster is fully setup.


We apologize in advance for any issues that this may cause and urge you to

take all necessary precautions to minimize the impact for you and your clients.


If you have any questions and/or concerns, please feel free to let us know. Have

a wonderful evening.


Regards,
