Finding some way to deny them routing until the problem is fixed, is the
most effective means I can think of. (I dont mean a DoS attack, I mean
some way of ignoring their route announcements).

The last site I dealt with took _3 weeks_ to close their amplifiers once
they were notified. And this was a multimillion dollar publishing company.
