*BLINK*

So, you're installing multiple units across 15 sites for a hotel chain... a 
rather important installation I would expect given the potential ramifications 
to operations as well as guest access... and your long term solution is to use 
USB powered fans?

As noted by others, given you can build/buy less expensive equipment, not 
wrought with heat/cooling problems, it might be a good idea to properly spec 
out and procure new hardware. In your shoes, I would not be moving forward with 
the current equipment.

Same here. Half of our domains were not resolving from any of the public or ISP 
DNS servers. Luckily it was Sunday else we would have been firefighting all day.

It started working automagically after around 1900 UTC.

Was this around 3pm-ish EDT? I had the most bizarre DNS outage at that
time and it choked all my servers. Our local unbound DNS resolvers
just stopped resolving everything!
