Nope . . . Nobody "Called" (using the Telephone) [Details are Important]
And . . I did reply to your e-mail, you may not have recieved it.
Currently, I am working with AOL's ATDN with Compuserve Legacy (Ddos) and
DNS Attacks as their "internal-only" servers are issuing attacks.
With the Akamai issue we were seeing only partial resolution and since we
pay Google a big wack of dough each month it is important for there network
to resolve. Additionally, we have the same contracts with Overture/Yahoo/SBC
so they are equally important. We even went as far as asking Paul Vixie if
we were routed to the blackhole. It is the same issue, just a different
flavor.
