Ok, but isn't this "one of those things" taken up better with google and
yahoo sales people?
Operationally, they have a large impact and they responded well.
If you only knew how many DDOS attacks your providers (all encompassed) see
and soak up, you'd be surprised.
YMMV

We have been experiencing this problem weeks ago, this is virtually under
the same spectrum of problems that Akamai via AKADNS.NET with their
corporate 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 dns
than akamai and could be seen. The problem continued intermittently
throughout 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 mere
babble we could of provided our logs as we were working within over 30
looking glasses trying to see what was happening and where the problem were
occuring.
