Here is a copy of an email sent to listowners and board managers: Late yesterday we began receiving reports that people could not access ancestry.com or more importantly boards.ancestry.com (they were receiving "host unknown" errors and traceroutes were impossible to do as well). Today, we've received word that, as time goes by, more people are unable to connect. The people who were having problems yesterday are still having problems today. This message is to let you know that the problem has been escalated internally at Provo. No ETA on a fix/resolution. We have escalated the problem.
