Or, wouldn't remote console access be nice?
Boar.prgmr.com appears to be down. We're bringing it back up as soon as possible. Here's the back story:
I stupidly created two domUs with identical MAC addresses. As far as we can tell, this destroyed Xen's virtual bridge. . . First my SSH connection went. Twenty minutes later, the entire box and domains hosted on it became unpingable. I feel terrible about the entire thing.
Luke's headed out now to reboot the machine.
I think I'm going to write some Python to automatically generate MAC addresses from IP addresses.

we drive out to the co-lo and the box is up. apparently it panicked or otherwise rebooted, and we just didn't wait long enough. Everything was fine, save for dhcpd, which I noticed wasn't running and fixed late that evening.
