openjdk.java.net status

[mark.reinhold at oracle.com]

The DNS servers for the java.net domain became highly unstable earlier
today.  The actual OpenJDK site servers were not affected but the usual
hostnames failed to resolve, rendering the site mostly unusable.

About six hours ago the top-level DNS records for the java.net domain
were changed to point to new DNS servers.  DNS records for top-level
domains persist in server caches for up to 48 hours, so your local DNS
server might not be able to resolve any java.net domain name until some
time on Friday.

If you need to access an OpenJDK web site in the meantime then you can
temporarily add the following to your /etc/hosts file or equivalent:

  192.9.170.170  bugs.openjdk.java.net
  192.9.170.172  cr.openjdk.java.net
  192.9.170.171  db.openjdk.java.net
  192.9.170.175  hg.openjdk.java.net
  192.9.170.174  mail.openjdk.java.net
  192.9.170.173  openjdk.java.net

(Note to Oracle employees: openjdk.java.net and its subdomains have
 been usable from within the Oracle network all day since different
 DNS servers are used internally.)
