Unfortunately DreamHost is experiencing a return of network problems similar to those we experienced yesterday. Please keep your eye on this post as we will update it as soon as we have more information. Sorry for the inconvenience.
UPDATE
The problem has been tracked down to a naughty switch and has been resolved. Due to the amount of traffic that dreamhoststatus.com is getting, we are leaving it static for the time being. If you are still experiencing problems, please contact support.
UPDATE TO THE UPDATE -Thu Aug 16 16:38:09 PDT 2007-
Shortly after the last update, things went down hill again. It turns out the switch wasn't the problem. For the time being, everything is back up and running and the problem appears to be fixed. Continue to check this space for updates and as always.

While the networking issues appear to be gone, we are still dealing with fallout from them. This includes a few non-responsive caching DNS servers causing more slow down. We are bringing these back up now and everything should be smooth again soon
