Just a quick note that the jabber.org admin team (thanks, Kev!) worked with the Google Talk admin team (thanks Jonas and Pascal!) to diagnose the problem. It turns out that Google had some broken DNS records, which have been fixed. Data is flowing smoothly again, but as always let us know if you experience any further problems.

Today I hit the move button to move jabber.co.nz to its’ new server
I’ve changed transports from py-transports to spectrum, so hopefully things will work a bit better, plus the server is bigger better fast.

Downtime should be limited to DNS ttl, so about an hour maybe?

Let me know if anything is awry.

Paul.

As you might have noticed, recently we’ve been experiencing intermittent connectivity issues. This is most prominently affecting our server link to the Google Talk service (e.g., your gmail.com buddies show up as offline). We are investigating these issues and communicating with the Google Talk team on solutions. As soon as we figure out the root causes, we will post again on the website.
