docs.freebsd.org down?

I checked from several points on the Internet, but it seems down. Is there maintenance or are there troubles?
Code: 
# host docs.freebsd.org
docs.freebsd.org is an alias for www.freebsd.org.
www.freebsd.org is an alias for wfe0.ysv.freebsd.org.
wfe0.ysv.freebsd.org has address 8.8.178.110
wfe0.ysv.freebsd.org has IPv6 address 2001:1900:2254:206a::50:0
wfe0.ysv.freebsd.org mail is handled by 0 .

# ping 8.8.178.110

^C
It seems to affect pkg-audit as well.
 
I can't even access bugs at the minute.

Code: 
Error 118 (net::ERR_CONNECTION_TIMED_OUT): The operation timed out.

And I also can't access Docs as well. Is it possible the servers are down or a DDoS attack?
 
It appears the entire website (minus these forums, fortunately) is down. I'd imagine that if there was (scheduled) maintenance being done there'd be a fallback server.
 
Oops

Seems that has been addressed :)

Why was freebsd.org down a few hours ago?

A while ago freebsd.org was not accessible. Why? It isn't my Internet connection, I tried several "is website down" services.

Today is a bad(ly) day, the main site (except the forums) and SVNn server have been down for about four hours.
 
As far as I can see there was a temporary routing error within the Yahoo! network where these services are located (and where the forums aren't).

Hey, that's a trade secret!

Seriously though... here's the short version.

While I was asleep, one of our redundant uplinks went dark. This wouldn't have been a problem because it was redundant, and we had two, right?

The problem was there was a misunderstanding about an openbgpd configuration. That shouldn't have been a problem either except the openbgpd port doesn't do ECMP (openbgpd itself does, but it is violently incompatible with our RADIX_MPATH and using the port is effectively suicidal if you turn it on).

So, there was a lot of sudden, unexpected learning today. Along the way things managed to get Really Fixed(TM) multiple times, with the predictable outcome of more (albeit relatively short) outages.

We are now in a state where it should fail over correctly but we inflicted unspeakable atrocities to make this happen. We have sinned in the full view of the BGP gods. The hack, while it works, is All Wrong(TM). In retrospect it has become clear that I just Don't Understand BGP.

Tomorrow, after sleep, and within physical reach of the gear, we shall try and do it right.
 
Thanks for working on this. While not fun at the time, that kind of experience results in valuable improvements. Maybe a scheduled (automated?) failover test? Once a year would make it Router Appreciation Day.
 
We actually do a failover and back every month, at least so far as machines that we control go. What got us this time was something upstream of our gear that lost its link and that exposed a configuration error.

We have had this happen once at ISC but in a different way. That was an upstream switch failure.
