[bitfolk] ~1 hr authoritative DNS outage on a.authns.bitfolk.co.uk

Hi, From around 02:50 for about 1 hour there was an outage of the authoritative DNS service on a.authns.bitfolk.co.uk. Those of you making use of the service probably could not fail to notice as you will have received PROBLEM and then RECOVERY alerts about it for each domain. This was simply due to me making a mistake in a firewall rule. :( It was a bit more complicated than that as it didn't take effect until hours after some other change I made and even while seeing the alerts myself it took me some time to work out exactly what had happened. Auth. DNS service was still working on {b,c}.authns.bitfolk.com so this shouldn't have had too bad an effect on actual service. Somewhat ironically, this happened due to work I was doing to isolate a.authns to make it safer to make changes! Once that is completed it should be harder to break it in this fashion.
