Load balanced nameservers. I assume these are all being DDoS'd as well, so that the actual nameservers behind the hardware (cisco?) load balancer are overloaded. -- srs (postmaster|suresh)@outblaze.com // gpg : EDEDEFB9 Manager, Outblaze.Com Antispam and Security Operations

Hello? 172.17.153.22? 172.16.0.0/12, RFC1918? We fixed most of this problem when Jared reported it, but it appears all hasn't been changed. Some configuration entries were missed in the distributed directors. ns1.cisco.com/ns2.cisco.com have the correct nameservers but the distributed director has the old values. I've forwarded the info and it will be fixed accordingly. /cah -- Craig A.
