Since our RSS feeds here were temporarily broken by sending back a 'Host not found' error due to DNS issues, I have been placed in the Bloglines penalty box. I am told, that if Bloglines received such a 'host not found' response, it won't try your feed again for an other 24 hours. This 24 hour delay, is called the Bloglines penalty box.

I thought it would be interesting to document this for others who may be interested in it and just for tracking purposes here.

Any feedback, feel free to comment at our forums - comments were disabled in the blog for a bit...
