No hacking here, just a simple misconfiguration in our Rails app. Nothing to see here, move along. ;)

- elliottcarlson 15y agoIt would actually be interesting in what kind of misconfiguration lead to this - was it a simple DNS misconfiguration that wasn't accounted for?
- vincentchu 15y agoThe explanation is really pretty innocuous. We had an unaccounted-for edge case that cached paulphusion.de's pages under our root domain, posterous.com. Like many software bugs, it was an edge case that we didn't foresee, but that happened extremely rarely. We've been running Varnish for the better part of a year, millions upon millions of requests and this was the first time something like this has ever happened. Of course, none of that wipes the egg off of our face. ;)
