Just discovered this problem on my company website, thanks for the update.

Seems to be getting better now - intermittent 502's and 504's, the occasional load (speed is choppy though)

Back to near-instant load times, great job guys! I look forward to the blog entry on this (P.S. It might be worth hosting your status page elsewhere in the future, whilst this might not happen very often, it's when it does that your site needs to be working, the lack of redundancy here is startling.)
- There is a global problem that affects the CloudFlare proxy and DNS services.
- The problem appears to be due to bad routing.
- We are working to restore correct routes in order to bring both DNS and proxy services back online.
- The operations and networking team are all online and treating this as an emergency.
- We do not have an ETA on the response time but will continue to post updates via Twitter as we learn more.
UPDATE. Sites are being restored now. DNS is operating.
I don't know all the details as bugging the network team while they were fixing wasn't going to help. We'll get a postmortem blog post up.
