FreeNode having issues

FreeNode seems to be having problems this week:
<pre>
lilo(levin@lilo.staff.freenode)- [Global Notice] Hi all.  We're experiencing
          severe attacks and we'll be shutting down the network piece by
          piece.  Thanks.
-lilo(levin@lilo.staff.freenode)- [Global Notice] Looks as if that may have
          been a bit premature, folks, at least for now things seem to be a
          bit better.  We'll try bringing the two dropped main rotation
          servers back up.
-lilo(levin@lilo.staff.freenode)- [Global Notice] Hi all.  Current status:
          the main rotation is currently pointed to 127.0.0.1, and one of the
          MR servers is down, two have been shut down since the problem
          started
-lilo(levin@lilo.staff.freenode)- [Global Notice] We're currently trying to
          get a bit ahead on the klines, but it's slow going
-lilo(levin@lilo.staff.freenode)- [Global Notice] It's just the usual "summer
          in the US" nonsense....apologies for the inconvenience, and we'll
          keep things going as best we can.  Thanks.
-lilo(levin@lilo.staff.freenode)- [Global Notice] So, with the network
          pointing to 127.0.0.1, and us churning out klines, maybe this is a
          good time to point out that we need a new protocol.
