ipv6 day DDoS threat?
I got an interesting contact from a large company that I will leave un-named for the moment. They said that they heard specific chatter about DDoS of IPv6 day participant sites and even more specifically about our website. Of course they have also offered to assist us in preventing this from affecting our site. I'm very skeptical about even calling said company at this point. I'm really feeling like this is a shakedown and was wondering if anyone else had been approached in a similar fashion? Mark Pace
Re: UltraDNS Failure?
Anyone else having problems resolving DNS from UltraDNS? I'm seeing this: $ dig www.ultradns.com @8.8.8.8 Yeah, they went belly up in the last 20 or so. Hard. Looks like it's hitting some of Amazon's Cloud stuff too. It seems west coast related, by the way. On the west coast here. They went at 4:44pm (Pacific). pace

Blackberry.net Email Administration Contact?
If anyone has a contact within Blackberry.net's email department, I'd greatly appreciate it if you could get me in touch with them. We're getting hundreds of connections a second from their mail servers and have had to block them. Thanks in advance, Mark Pace
Re: Blackberry.net Email Administration Contact?
At the moment it appears as tho the blackberry email storm has subsided. I thought I'd share a most excellent letter I got from Blackberry after one of the Nanog users was kind enough to forward my email along to them: Hello Mark, Thank you for contacting BlackBerry Customer Support.
