[dns-operations] OARC server outage

[Keith Mitchell]

I'm pleased to report this issue is not as serious as we feared, and
this server is now back up and all OARC services restored. We may
however need to perform some scheduled maintenance work on it in the
near future to diagnose/rectify the underlying cause, and will give as
much notice as possible if we do.
