We have been experiencing this problem weeks ago, this is virtually underthe same spectrum of problems that Akamai via AKADNS.NET with theircorporate DNS servers that carry traffic for google, yahoo, msn, etc. When we were asking if Akamai blacklisted/blackholed ip addresses ( we meant at router-level or DNS-level ) as we were experiencing lack of resolution to yahoo, and google. We noted that google adwords were using a different dnsthan akamai and could be seen. The problem continued intermittentlythroughout the week, yet nobody put the questions we were asking along with the issues taking place from Akamai within dispite our pleas, and requests to resolve this issue. We performed traceroutes, pings, bgp summarys making sure we weren't being blocked before we started pointing any fingers and asking any stupid questions yet we still were ignored and could of helped Akamai prevent such occurances from happening. It is us who is paying google $186,000 a quarter and Yahoo $146,000 a quarter in advertising, you'd think that someone would look our way and see we're having troubles rather than walking on while we were being mugged. Rather than being treated as merebabble we could of provided our logs as we were working within over 30looking glasses trying to see what was happening and where the problem wereoccuring.
Pete,In addition to John responding to your Nanog request for help from Akamai, I also responded (privately) and did not hear anything from you. Did you ever open a ticket with the Akamai NOC or Customer Care, and if so, can you give me that ticket number? I doubt seriously that no one at Akamai listened. We've got two right here that responded and did not get a response, on a non standard channel. Standard channels are probably a much better place to go, and so I'd guess you had much better luck there. So, if you can send me the ticket number, we'll take this off Nanog and get it resolved.
Thanks, Sean (Akamai NetArch Guy)
