Date & time of incident: 
Wednesday, August 24, 2011 - 10:00
Incident Description: 

The DNS load balence service which determines the best hosts to be present behind lxplus.cern.ch was faulty and is fixed to a set of hosts. As such the hosts behind lxplus.cern.ch were becoming overloaded.

The DNS alias lxplus.cern.ch was fixed around 14:00 today. The following hosts are currently overloaded since lxplus.cern.ch was pointing exclusivly to them during this incident.

lxplus431, lxplus257, lxplus243, lxplus255, lxplus408, lxplus312, lxplus437 and lxplus446

Using another host in the short term is recomended.
