DNS Issue with PLoS.org - Resolved

Submitted by Richard Cave on Sun, 2008-10-05 11:40.

We had an outage on our PLoS.org domain resources yesterday due to a DNS issue. As a result, www.plos.org and all of the plos.org subdomains were intermittent as well. The issue was addressed promptly but there was a 2-10 hour delay while DNS servers were updated and ~24 hour delay before a comprehensive international DNS update. Most people were able to access www.plos.org within a few hours.

The DNS issue did not affect any of the PLoS journal websites.

Please be aware that if doi.plos.org is down, you can use CrossRef for DOI resolution.
