Akamai Having Problems?

Posted by Hemos on from the problems-around dept.

A reader writes:"It appears that sometime during the night, Akamai had some problems causing some connectivitly issues with many hosts thoughout the night. Akamai provides a DNS load balancing solution to many major internet companies/sites including (but notlimited to) Google, Yahoo, etc. Is it a bad idea to rely so heavily upon one service for our major internet needs? " Not much details - but I can confirm having problems this morning. Thanks to alert readers for pointing that they were having "DoS related issues" and that service was restored as of 1400 GMT.

    So much for Linux being so "secure" and "stable". I hope you Gnu/hippies accept the FACT that Linux is CRAP.

    Microsoft has had enough this time. Longhorn and Longhorn server will eliminate you once and for all and modding the truth -1, flamebait won't help it!

      Yeah, probably no http requests either. No one cares.
