Here's something I've never seen before, and it's at 12:30am Halloween morning, Pacific time:

On www2.google.com....

Your search - link:cnn.com - did not match any documents.

Alternates with results for 103,000. Good news maybe? ;)

www3 is not behaving that way.

Update: www3 is now alternating the same way.

I am getting the same here, only on www3 though.

Getting the same thing for yahoo.com as well, on www2

[MHes]

Same in the uk for www3. The link count for yahoo is showing 0.... this is the first time this has happenned for me.

Everything looks normal... 103,000 on all 3 for link:www.cnn.com and 657,000 on all 3 for link:www.yahoo.com

www2 shows 4930 for me currently (Yahoo).

Google has modified the DNS record of www2. Now, www2 points to a different IP address than the weeks before. The name server I check received the new DNS record sometimes between 7:20 and 7:25 UTC. So, this may have caused the trouble.

[mortalfrog]

yup, I think I just picked up the DNS change - the www2 page took an excessive amount of time to load, and when it came up, it had a halloween logo and the right # of backlinks.
