[General] Did EarthLink DNS go down again?

I am unable to reach any earthlink.net sites right now. :P

I was on Webmail numerous times yesterday. Given the time you posted, I'll guess 'unannounced maintenance'.

At 11 PM PDT?

11PM PDT = 2AM EDT. Maintenance window is usually 1AM-6AM or something similar.
Emergency maintenance can be any time, though.

Did ELN give any notice about it? I didn't see it on its web site after I connected like on »support.earthlink.net/contact/outages.php ...

That's why I said 'unannounced'. I saw it a couple of times when I was an Earthlink Internet customer. It usually means that something was about to fail catastrophically, so they took it down and caused a service outage to prevent a bigger outage later. Either that or they just didn't bother to post the maintenance window to the outage page on the website.
