Ah well, I tried a submit at 3:31 pm and it did its usual "cannot find server" failure.
The domain was

I notice the timeout seems to happen faster than an ordinary timout, this is consistent, I've seen it a number of times now. And, since this started for me about a week ago, my guess is that this might be connected to whatever you did to stop the 500 errors.
