No technical explanation of course but it also took down
their 'backup facility' according to them on twitter;
I assume some bad routing/DNS if they do actually have
a backup facility.  Lots of online stores are
offline right now because of this, and the holiday is
unfortunately keeping those store owners from knowing
they are not making sales right now.  Life in ecommerce...
