They fixed it, btw www.paulphusion.de was still pointing to his old address at 81.169.145.158. I don't know what he did, but it seems that he didn't follow what posterous suggested (adding an A record to its domain pointing at posterous). Sadly i wasn't quick enough to collect more data about posterous.com...
Waiting for the official post, i'd say that Paul misconfigured something that they didn't test for that particular input.

How did his domain change break the main site?
I believe that is what the site developers are asking themselves at this very moment.
And their managers are asking "how was this not fixed until 18 hours after it happened?"
