It's sitting behind:
mae-east.isi.net (192.41.177.118)
There's a BIG difference between:
1) At MAE-East physically, but behind a router;
and
2) At MAE-East physically, and with a MAE-East IP/switch connection.
Those purple beauties are a case of the former.
There's community concensus that (2) is 'cheating'.
