actually I think the problem is not that it is not available, heck /etc/hosts fixes wouldn't work than. it's that it is unresponsive as hell, and they have no system wide circuit breaker, if it is slow.

If it were unreachable then the daemon would fail fast. A slowdown on the other hand just makes requests to the daemon queue up.

I am calling an unresponsive service unavailable. I think we agree about everything else.
