Are they Savvis, or just pretending to be Savvis:
http://www.calpop.com/network.html
I like it where they say
CalPOP's Network has been rated the #1 rated backbone in the world --
and
a) the contact for calpop.com is someone at hotmail.com
b) both calpop.com nameservers are on the same /24, likely
plugged into the same switch and same power supply
c) both calpop.com nameservers report only one NS record,
which is a third machine sharing the same characteristics
as in b)
d) The TTL is one hour... I guess that's so they can pick up and
move to, say, an XO data center real fast.
I think calpop.com is a cabinet inside a Savvis co-lo,
not that there's anything wrong with that.
