Hulu down, sadness ensuing

Hulu appears to be down.  Or, rather, it looks like Akamai might be screwing up their dns.  No A record for hulu == bad for business and for my viewing pleasure.  :(

Hopefully they’ve got some black box monitoring that doesn’t rely on their own nameservers.

This guy
is as sad as I am right now. :_(

Update: Yay, our friendly A record is back again.  Downtime?  ~10 minutes.
