For the non-computer-science folks confused by this: these, along with off-by-one errors, are commonly described as the “two hardest problems in computer science”.

@mdreid I'm now wondering if I've ever had an off-by-one error when working with DNS, to get the hat trick. I fear it's possible.

@mdreid Oops I guess I missed a dot in my zone file. Our website will be down for at least 3 days to see if my fix worked. If not it'll be another 3 days to see if the fix of the fix worked.
