IP2Location don't have the right info, but they think it's a Speakeasy.net IP in Washington DC which probably won't be a problem. No idea about Digital Element yet. Netblock is 67.214.48.0/20 - was reg'd a couple of weeks ago so folks who pull ARIN assignments regularly will have it. Those who care but don't check ARIN regularly may want to see if they think it's in Chile, and change it to Denver, Colorado if so. -> However, the ecommerce issue is a bit worse, because there's some -> of'em out there, like one of the biggest hosters in the states, that -> have 2 year old data. Yeah, it's those types that I'm hoping to locate as well... Google and Akamai were immediately noticed by the test users, and have also responded very quickly (thanks, guys), but ideally we'd like to be proactive and get as many of these updated *before* the real customers hit the network and start having problems. -Robert.-
