It doesn't help for those who:

1) Use any of the 30 domains hosted on one of our boxes;
2) The 6000 users of mailing lists we host;
3) The users of the debian mirror;
4) Those who use databases hosted on our machine;
5) People we do back up MX for;
6) People we do secondary DNS for.

In other words, it doesn't solve our *primary* problem (access to the
services), only the secondary (net connectivity).

Of the services we provide, Rick's Bale page gets 10,000 hits/month.
Nothing else quite compares, except when I listed my Cannodale bike on
Ebay. :)
