[Resolved] Wallaby network issue - AussieHost.com Web Hosting - Host Multiple Domains on Fast Australian Servers

Aussie Bob · 20th October 2009, 08:32 AM

Last night there was a large DDOS attack directed at another site (not hosted by us) at the DC. This was announced here, and all servers are back, but we're having issues accessing sites on Wallaby server. The Wallaby server is up, but accessing sites from outside and within Australia is the issue here. So we're working with the DC to resolve this asap.

I'll update here as more info comes to hand . . .

Sites are functional on Wallaby server, from inside Australia. Can others confirm this too?

Thanks Alex. Yes, server activity on Wallaby has returned to normal. There could be some issues with international connections to Wallaby, as the DC upstream has blocked certain blocks of incoming international IPs, to fight this DDOS that's hitting the DC. But local Aussie access to Wallaby should be all good now. I've tested this and others have, and it's all good.
