Is it my imagination or are countless operations impacted today with mysql meltdowns

There seems to have been a big fault over there that is
effecting us
here in .AU. According to our local upstream it's a GLX
fault, and by
it's duration, it seems to have been a big one - I was told
about it
more than 12 hours ago. Examples of sites customers are
having trouble
accessing are :

games.swirve.com
206.104.8.56

hostgator.com
67.18.54.2

itwarehouse.com.au
67.19.93.101

centralops.net
70.84.211.98

whatalicefound.net
70.87.152.2

I think you're referring to an issue of blackholed packets
between GX 
(3549) and Singtel (7473) in LA, for packets going to Optus
(4804) (which 
for some reason appear to not be announced to normal Singtel
peers). I 
don't think this was GX's fault actually, but I'm not
sure if the issue 
extended beyond 3549->7473.

At any rate this has nothing to do with MySQL faults or
off-topic posts, 
and it is venturing dangerously close to actually talking
about routing 
issues. We'd best change the subject to spam or botnets or
something, 
before somebody gets the wrong idea about this list.

Optus's AS is 7474, or at least that is the AS we peer
with, and then
that peers with 7473.

Our routes to those destinations had been up for days /
weeks, so it
seemed to be a return path problem. A packet blackhole would
explain it.

Maybe the routes were stored in a MySQL database, and they
suffered
from a disk crash ?
