Todays 13 hour outage enjoyed by all websites on this server turned out to be the fault of my $50 WNR834B router, and not the l33t h@xzor skillz of Stavos as was previously thought. After careful review of the router logs, it became apparent the reason for failure was megabit limited LAN traffic speeds and a lack of flashing blue network activity lights. Fortunately both problems are solved with the WNR3500 gigabit router presently on order. If you're thinking the Netgear marketing machine has blinded me into sinking even more money into faulty equipment you'd be right, and while I may never know why the router decided to ignore all WAN traffic at 4:30am, I do know in less than 3 days I'll have a shiny new one to help me forget why I ever cared.
