Alfresco CEO, John Powell, just announced that they are having DNS type issues due to their Domain Registrar, 123-reg.

This is hot on the heals of a news report saying, quote, “UK domain registrar 123-Reg crashes and burns, taking its customers with it”. CNet UK even mentions Alfresco in that blog posting. Basically, some are saying it’s a DOS attack while others are guessing it’s 123-reg’s screw up.
