opal12.opalstack.com (washington DC shared hosting) is currenty not responding. We're investigating at this time.
The outage was caused by a very heavy spike in system load, itself caused by a brief (but intense) attack from an abusive IP address. The problem has been mitigated and the server has been stable since our previous update.
opal12 is back online and stable at this time. The cause of the outage is still under investigation.
