Flickr DNS
www.flickr.com seems to be working again. But just in case it isn't, here's my post from earlier:
We've had the most frustrating weekend: Dotster, where flickr.com is registered, has screwed up our DNS, and you can only intermittently get to Flickr.com. DNS is how your browser knows that "www.flickr.com" is meant to go to our servers at, for example http://209.34.233.51 or whatever. Five hours after the problem started Dotster finally acknowledged there was a problem on their site and then they said it was resolved. Needless to say, it was not. Until they fix it, try these instead:
http://www1.flickr.com/
http://www2.flickr.com/
http://www3.flickr.com/
http://www4.flickr.com/
We're in the process of switching domain registrars, obviously, and this will be fixed asap. So frustrating!
