Ya...didn't look at the setup before I posted, oh well..
I'll still pose the question as a theoretical one... say it was
ultradns rather than akadns (..or any substantially large website in
traffic having an authoritive DNS attack), would verisign be willing to
push changes for somebody 'big' ?

Confirm here in China. mail.yahoo.com is not reachable.
I met this problem with www.toshiba.com about a month before, when www.toshiba.com
could only be resolved by using AT&T's DNS server cache.

People seem to be getting around this by changing their DNS entries.
E.g. www.yahoo.com always used to be a CNAME for www.yahoo.akadns.net. But
now:
# host www.yahoo.com
www.yahoo.com is an alias for www.dcn.yahoo.com.
www.dcn.yahoo.com has address 216.109.118.64
www.dcn.yahoo.com has addre
The Internet is largely based on (non-shared) simple algorithms and not
having shared points of failure.
The problem here seems to be that many folks are sharing Akamai's magic DNS
algorithms.
Hmm. "Excess Sharing Considering To Be Harmful", anyone? Our kindergarten
teachers would be shocked :

Confirmed from here. Google is back for us, yahoo, fedex, microsoft, and
