NEW YORK (AP)—Web sites for President Bush's campaign and the Republican National Committee suffered outages for several hours on Wednesday.

>>>>Protesters often attempt to bring down sites by overwhelming them with so much bogus traffic that legitimate visitors could not get through. The fact that two sites suffered outages simultaneously suggests such a coordinated attack.

But analysts with AlertSite and Keynote say other evidence suggests a technical problem.

Roopak Patel, senior Internet analyst for Keynote, said many of the errors related to the Domain Name System, the computers that translate a domain name into a site's actual numeric address. Those errors often occur when incorrect or incomplete information is loaded into the system. :-)
