If you're talking about the nightly backup, I apologize. You're probably seeing it at early morning, and theres nothing we can do about that (for now) since we have a majority of the people in the US on the site we have to do it at that time.

So, pretty much we're running out of memory during the database backup, and the kernel starts killing off the processes taking the most memory .. so the machine won't die. named (dns) and mysqldump (backup) are the first two that get axed, causing the backup to fail, and the machine to be floating in Internet la-la land only accessable via IP, and not 'chiefdelphi.com'.
So. Once we get a better server with more memory, we'll be ok.
Until then, I guess I'll write some sort of sanity check script to make sure named is running every 2-3 hours.
