Looks like Clemens got slashdotted.  Funny, I submitted the link to his letter, and was rejected.  I wonder how many people did the same before Hemos submitted it himself. 

Looks like Clemens site isn't holding up as well as mine did.  I'm getting timeouts from his ISA server:

10061 - Connection refused
Internet Security and Acceleration Server

I can't tell if dasBlog having trouble under the load, or if it's just a bandwidth/hardware thing.  I run my site at ORCSWeb (highly recommended) and I didn't even notice the slashdotting from a performance point of view.   I think that dasBlog scales just fine for 99% of folks needs.
