in Chantilly, VA, is without power and operating on backup power
generation. All external Internet services are available. In the
event external power is not restored by 19:00 EDT, ARIN will
begin an orderly shutdown of services. Such a shutdown will
affect ARIN Online, email template submissions, payment
submissions, phone service, and ARIN's web site. Both DNS and
Whois services will not be affected as they will be serviced
from auxiliary data centers.</font></p>
