Cameron & I have been in contact off-list, and all issues have been =

More generally: Hopefully it will come as no surprise that Akamai has =
some rate-limiting parameters configured. The Internet is a nasty =
place, and every contentious provider should have protections in place.
If anyone sees any problems with Akamai name servers or anything else, =
noc@akamai.com is monitored 24/7 and should be able to either help =
directly, or get you in touch with the right people who can.
