According to Exodus' trouble ticket it is a BGP instability between several locations in their network and with BGP customers.
Hmmmmm... You somehow found a way to get this information without agreeing to the NDA? Impressive. (For the people around here who aren't Exodus customers: subscribing to their network engineering/outage list theoretically implies agreeing to an NDA, which is presumably why no one here mentioned this) That's a minor thing, though. More importantly: a) Slashdot and co went down way before this Exodus BGP business b) Slashdot and friends seem very singlehomed to me (and using Exodus IP space, too), so I don't see why they'd be speaking BGP to Exodus c) Some very specific areas of Exodus' network are affected, not wlhm01. d) Slashdot and co's _network_ seemed up fine... at least some of it. Right now, interestingly enough, that doesn't seem to be the case. Thus, I don't see the link between the Exodus BGP thing and the Slashdot/Freshmeat/etc. outage.
