back in 1999 inktomi hammered our nameserver (which never has, and never
will run http. ever.) After _weeks_ of complaining to them and to their
upstream exodus (hah!) I finally got them to stop. Only to have them
start up again a month later.
not suprising to see them up to their old antics again.
