I notice that the administrator of EDU.Ph, Mr. Bombim Cadiz has questioned the EDU.Ph and Gov.PH outage data presented in our open letters. The data we derived from our study is summarized at http://domainwatch.ph. Note that we even graph the outages!

For instance, here is how gabriela.ph.net behaved on Dec 19, 2004. Gabriela is both an EDU.PH and Gov.PH nameserver. The area marked in red denotes outages. The area in green denotes that the server was up. Since Dec 19 was a Sunday, it’s likely that Mr. Cadiz doesn’t have any SMS alerts to tell him when his servers are down on the weekend.

And below is the graph for Dec 20, 2004 for gabriela.ph.net. Looks like when someone reported in for work on Monday at 9 am, the problem was found and the server was rebooted:

It also looks like the edu.ph Website at http://dns.ph.net has had a troubled December.

edu.ph website Dec 2:

edu.ph website Dec 3:

edu.ph website Dec 5:

edu.ph website Dec 6:

edu.ph website Dec 7:

the website behaves decently for a few days then nosedives again:

edu.ph website Dec 11:

edu.ph website Dec 12:

edu.ph website Dec 13:

Looks like someone came in at 1145 am on Monday then rebooted the web server.

But another outage begins the next day Dec 14:

and the server is rebooted on Dec 15 at 9 am:

I just hope the Edu.PH Administrator will take the time to fix the Edu.PH webserver soon. I notice that it hasn’t been modified in the last 5 years. Does this mean the hardware is also 5 years old?
