not only that, it seems that the DOS is so bad that even UUNet is having to
shut down peering points around the West Coast with most of their peers. I
guess the only way to 'protect' against something this big would be to follow
Pauls RFC and/or have big, fat pipes sitting idle.
This is a sad day for the internet. :(
