I just wanted to give a short heads-up that we're aware of the issue
with site verification in Webmaster Tools. The team is working on it,
so you should all be able to take a deeper look into your site's
indexing through Webmaster Tools soon!
If your site was unverified, it will generally have no impact on any
settings or statistics in your account. They will all be back once
your site is re-verified.
I'm sorry for the disruption and hope to see you all in our chat
tomorrow!

Abhim, yours is a misconfiguratin problem more likely.
The server returns a 403 instead of a 404 to a robot like web-
sniffer.net (set to Googlebot as user agent).

Has the re-verification issue been solved or it's still on-going? my
two sites: http://www.merx2go.com and http://www.whereboutiqueshop.com are all been hit by this re-verification problem starting two day ago.
They have all been verified and now non-verified. The error message
varies from dns error to server timeout and changes too.

I gather I'm having the same problem too.. Everything was fine
yesterday, but today I get the message that the site/domain cannot be
verified..
domain is:
glanmore.org
re: verification issues - and I've added the verification meta tag
in.. 3 times :-) but it still won't verify. I did the html
verfication page as well - it didn't work.. (I've deleted it since).
I ended up calling my webhost (before I came here to this blog) and
they say all the servers are correct.. for both domains I have, i.e.,
I have another domain hosted by the same company, same DNS servers,
and it is fine re: verification at:
torchysland.com
so, I'm no techie.. and really don't know what to do..

Recursive Queries I could use the nameservers listed below to performe
recursive queries. It may be that I am wrong but the chances of that
are low. You should not have nameservers that allow recursive queries
as this will allow almost anyone to use your nameservers and can cause
problems. Problem record(s) are:
71.18.216.3
71.18.255.99

I wish they would put a notice up in the Webmaster Tools site to let
us know when this type of issue occurs! It cost us hours tracking
down what we assumed was our own issue!
So now all we can do is wait and keep coming back and clicking
"verify" until one day it's magically fixed? How lame is that?
DEAR GOOGLE
When you are aware of these problems it would be respectful of your
users to post a BIG, BOLD notice on the webmaster tools dashboard so
you don't cause your users to lose precious hours trying to fix
something that is GOOGLE's problem!
My team goes live with many sites each month - we just added six new
sites to the system and half of them had the "can't verify" problem!
Because we didn't know it was a Google issue, I tasked the resolution
of this to our System Administrator and our Lead Engineer.

That's all good and fine that it's posted here in the forums, but for
those of us who live inside the webmaster tools screens and only come
here when we are at a last-resort stage (almost never), I don't think
we should have to come here automatically.
And how many thousands or tens of thousands of users don't even know
about the forums?
So from a customer relations perspective in my opinion, Google would
be lightyears ahead of the current service curve to post those kind of
notices right on the dashboard instead of me seeing a default "your
system has a problem" messages that implies its my company's to deal
with.

And like most Forums systems, this is not the only thread on this
problem.
So even if John or anyone else at Google does come here and post the
problem and/or a message when it's resolved, this is a lousy way to
communicate it if Google is trying to reach the most users
