Daniel Golding suggested that the problem was that many folks are =
sharing Akamai's magic DNS algorithms.=20
This doesn't appear to be a problem with magic algorithms - it appears =
that they're sharing the _servers_,
and that the reported attack on the servers means that it doesn't matter =
how magic the algorithms are.
Good luck to them on developing a longer-term workaround for the next =
attack.
