Having no problems at the moment. I'm connected through the round-
robin (irc.snoonet.com) that redirected me to the *s6.snoonet.com*
Server and all seems absolutely fine.

No access for two of us from Spain and Denmark. :/

Same for me.  `unknown host` in xChat.
[Webchat](http://webchat.snoonet.com/) is also giving an error: `It
seems none of the webchat servers are responding at this time.`

It seems odd checking reddit to see if IRC is down.

from the sounds of it, the DNS on the round robin is broken - If
you're already connected you won't have an issue but users trying to
connect will be incapable of doing so.
It is 5 minute fix, someone who's already/still connected should prod
#help to restart the round-robin or at least shift the DNS to the
backup servers(if they have any) as not to cause further disturbance.

Use 64.85.173.211 instead of irc.snoonet.com

or 70.42.74.186 works too

Yup, same here:


    *** Connecting to port 6667 of server irc.snoonet.com
    *** Unable to connect to port 6667 of server irc.snoonet.com:
unknown host

Just fyi, #help is aware.

Yup, having this exact problem now. It keeps telling me that maybe I
misspelled the address.

I can confirm this worked for me.

they were aware almost immediately after it happened, but didn't take
it seriously enough to check...

Hate to say it, but freenode is still up. Don't know why we moved
networks in the first place.

The DNS server went down, functionality for existing users was
unaffected but new clients were unable to connect for a short period.
