PING newswww.bbc.net.uk (212.58.226.73) 56(84) bytes of data.

--- newswww.bbc.net.uk ping statistics ---
13 packets transmitted, 0 received, 100% packet loss, time 12008msLoad balanced (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Load_balancing_%28computing%29)?
An alternate method of load balancing which does not necessarily require a dedicated software or hardware node, is called round robin DNS (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Round_robin_DNS). In this technique, multiple IP addresses (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IP_address) are associated with a single domain name (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Domain_name) (i.e. www.example.org); (http://www.example.org%29;) clients themselves are expected to choose which server to connect. Unlike the use of a dedicated load balancer, this technique is not "transparent" to clients, because it exposes the existence of multiple backend servers. The technique has other advantages and disadvantages, depending on the degree of control over the DNS server and the granularity of load balancing which is desired.

I can get on no bother today.....BUT
Three nights this week after 16:00 it's been a moo... Timeouts or 75% Packet Loss. For a few hours, then back to 50ms pings.

[Maggy]

Well I reckon the BBC website is probably one of the most visited sites in the world and has a huge data base..it's bound to break sometime.;)

Hubby says he can't get to the BBCi on the TV either.

[homealone]

Server too busy


Sorry! We're unable to bring you the page you're looking for right now. This is probably because our site has suddenly got very busy. Please do try again in a few minutes.

Ho hum.
