Description:
Red Hat Network (RHN) experienced intermittent outages due to the
enormous demand placed on the service related to the release of Red Hat
Enterprise Linux 4 update 3. This demand also uncovered a corrupted
cache that caused a small number of RHN Satellite customers to
experience sync failure.

The demand has slackened and the corrupted cache has been fixed.
