All,

Late yesterday, our firewall started generating sporatic connection problems
(as a result of a power spike which went through our office).

Problems may occur with name resolution problems for the FirebirdSQL.org and
.com domains (we just started hosting the DNS, yesterday!) as well as
general connection problems accessing the news server.

Needless to say we are working to resolve this issues and hope to have them
resolved shortly.
