last i checked www.spicegirls.com wasn't on the exodus network.
i think it's on netkonect.net
whitehouse.com is on exodus though... ;)
as per the contractual issues, all they told lowly engineers like myself
was that we could disclose publicly the fact:
1. we have reached a solution with GTEi
2. it includes expanding ds3's with them
3. we're not buying transit or paying for peering
4. we're like friends and stuff now... ;)
i'm sure when bowman gets up, he'll have something to say. he probably has
a LOT more insight into #3
