It's been down at least since early yesterday.  There's been only limited
comment from Exodus/Andover:

"According to Exodus' trouble ticket it is a BGP instability between
several locations in their network and with BGP customers.

Whether it was a security issue, vendor bug or operator error hasn't
been determined yet.  Exodus customers should contact Exodus customer
service for more information, reporters should contact Exodus media
relations for more information."

I figure that Exodus/Andover/VA Linux might have simply run out of money,
especially given VA's woes in that regard lately.
