New York Times Site — Down or Up?

By Danny Yadron and Ben Fox Rubin

The New York TimesNYT -1.90% website appeared to be back online for many users Tuesday night following an attack by the Syrian Electronic Army that also hit Twitter and the Huffington Post.
But some web users Wednesday said the site was still down — even as the newspaper and Melbourne IT, the company that registers its domain name, said things should be back to normal.
Who’s right? Both could be, actually.
The Internet relies on a type of short-term memory called cache to speed up browsing. The DNS cache stores the translations of domain names like nytimes.com into IP addresses. That’s separate from the caching done by a Web browser like Internet Explorer or Google Chrome, which helps static parts of pages load faster.

When a website goes down, like the New York Times did, there can be a lag for some people in accessing the fixed site. Times Co. spokeswoman Eileen Murphy said the false address created by the Syrian Electronic Army hadn’t been completely flushed out by some Internet service providers. That helps explain why some people have been able to access The New York Times site Wednesday and others haven’t.

Times Co., on its Twitter account, recognized some people were still having trouble connecting, and tweeted out instructions every few hours on accessing an alternate site.
