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.
and, TECHNICALLY, what did you learn from all the measurements? randy
