                   “Sheilds up! They're hitting us in DNS!”

I've noticed some very odd network activity recently here at the South Lab.
At 8:02 pm EST yesturday I got slammed with DNS (Domain Name System). For
nine seconds I received an average of 10 requests per second for DNS
resolution from 22 different IP (Internet Protocol) addresses (an average of
4 requests per IP address).

Very odd.

But then, exactly 12 hours later, again, for nine seconds I received an
average of 10 reqeusts per second for DNS resolution from 22 different hosts;
the same hosts as 12 hours earlier.

Very odd …
