rubygems_dns_failover

# rubygems DNS is temporarily down, put this into your /etc/hosts to install gems,
# but don't forget to remove the entries once their DNS is back up again

72.4.120.124 rubygems.org
207.171.181.231 production.s3.rubygems.org
216.137.45.24 production.cf.rubygems.org

Oh, if you're using ghost already for local DNS munging, you could use http://gist.github.com/429924

Of course, if you haven't got ghost installed yet, you're onto a loser trying to get it installed right now. :-)

Any ideas ?

Really? Anyone know why this happened?

I have enjoyed using gemcutter. Its like the 3rd iteration of rubygems and is significantly better than previous revs. When this happens though, I always remember that I didn't have this problem with CPAN. Maybe its time to start having some redundancy and mirroring of the rubygems repo.

Thanks,

Ok, rubygems.org seems to work again, so you should not forget to remove the entries...

is anyone thinking about how we can prevent this error from now on?

Make sure to remove this now, these DNS entries are now broken. :)
