Sterling, VA - If you're running a Verio server, and you probably are, your sites and web applications are down. As of 1pm EST there was no timetable for a repair although they have assured everyone they are working very hard to get everything back online. They have been good about such things in the past so we feel good things will come back at some point today. Their formal message is:

September 22, 2006 - Verio.com Data Center Status Update At approximately 9:45 AM ET this morning, Verio lost commercial power to its data center facility in Sterling, Virginia and experienced technical problems with its generators. The problem has now been resolved. The data center is currently operating on generator power and Verio's operations staff is now beginning to bring the data center back online.
