18 Sep 14 New Internet Service Provider – switchover is scheduled for tonight

As we have been preparing for the switch to our New Internet Service Provider we have discovered there will be some minor service interruptions.  

 

Again, our outbound IP address will change from 38.69.5.66 to 207.181.198.122.  Any outside services that are linked to our IP address, e.g. subscriptions, will need to be notified of the change.

 

There is a possibility that some outside web browsers will not receive a timely update to the new addresses, due to the variable time DNS needs to propagate to some ISPs.  Affected users will be unable to reach ALA until that provider updates their DNS. This will resolve naturally over time.

 

Please contact me if you have any questions or concerns.
