Network Change... Notice any problems?

Some people may have noticed some problems getting on the site today for a while. This was because today the entire hosting configuration/LAN/Farm was changed over to an entirely new set-up. Everything should be running smoothly now, but if you notice any issues let me know so I can see if it is on our end. ;)

Moving VERY slow for me it seems... let me ping you, and I'll post the results

Joe,

Our Proxy/Firewall system prevents anyone on the outside from pinging the internal servers on our web farm. ;)

Well that's a good thing...mine too! :)

Anyways, now it's much better... earlier today it was real slow, but seems 90% better now!

Yeah, things seem to have smoothed out a bit now. The switching equipment and proxy will "learn" the MAC addresses of all the machines and get more efficient at routing packets as time goes on...

This was a major changeover of the network and there will be further changes coming soon as the full capacity / implementation of a new data center that was built is brought online... :D
