I thought the theory behind having mirrored DNS servers and disk drives was
that you could fall back to one if the other were to fail. Well, a nice
theory ;-)

Since the statistical probability of both instances failing together is
just about NIL, I suppose that means that in your case both instances rely
on some external dependency - which failed?
