[Server-devel] DNS & Connectivity Issues

[Tarun Pondicherry]

Hi Glen,

Is there an IP I can use to ssh to the server while the dns issues are 
resolved?

Thanks,
Tarun

There may still be DNS issues but I am too tired to dig too deeply until tomorrow. 65.118.27.2 was probably configured as a secondary dns in /etc/resolv.conf on edublog. It might be better to change that to 208.67.222.222 (opendns.org) as 65.118.27.2 is no long active.
