I don't have any reason to assume that they have servers in AboveNet's physical space. You may know more about it than I do. A quick look shows that they've got _services_ advertised from two different /24s, both of which are being advertised _through_ both AboveNet's and Exodus' ASes. It seems likely that those _services_ are being advertised from _servers_ which are located at AboveNet and Exodus facilities, however they may be locating their _servers_ at exchange points, as Nominum does, rather than in colos. Taking a quick look in Route-Views, I don't see that they have any peering, so that doesn't help us discern whether they're in colo or exchange facilities. They have servers hanging off both AboveNet's DC and SJ routing hubs, and one presumes that they're doing the same sort of geographic diversity thing with Exodus. Perhaps if you look at their web site they have a map of where their servers are, or perhaps not. So in short, it's pretty unlikely that anyone other than UltraDNS would ever know if their AboveNet connectivity went away. -Bill
