The behavior you describe is normal for an Athena machine that has no
network connection.
Our log server shows most of the machines in the 1-142 cluster having
network trouble, starting between 3 and 5am this morning. Only one
machine in that cluster has been up on the network since.
While I can't absolutely rule out a more sinister cause, it seems very
likely that there's simply a problem with the networking hardware that
serves those machines. I've opened trouble calls with the appropriate
groups.
Thank you for reporting this.
