Well, I got to work and tried to ftp to home to grab a 23MB file. No
connection. Telnet, ftp, smtp, and www were all dead. GAWD. What's
happened?

Quick cab ride how. Hunt around, everything looks ok. All services
running. Can connect from here. Firewall? drop it. Nope, can't
connect. Hmmm, reboot the router. Nope. Ahhhhh! IP.

change named files. notify .cx domain.

cab ride back to work.

elapsed time between problem detection and getting back to work about
2 hours. Not all services are back yet. Internic doesn't yet know about
the IP change to the name server, so freebsddiary.org is broke.
freebsddiary.cx is now up and running (they update their DNS about 2x
daily).
