Akamai DNS Issue?

Wed Jun 16 01:28:34 UTC 2004

Daniel Golding suggested that the problem was that many folks are sharing Akamai's magic DNS algorithms. 
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.
