Been happening for many years. How do you think the original Boardwatch / Keynote speed tests were gamed? If you have any real experience on the Internet, you are well acquainted with anycast web servers.
Let me, let me, let me! It involved an err... locating linux boxes with the identical IP addresses given to Boardwatch/Keynote in locations very close to location of the probes. Finally, for an extra "speed up" it involved modifying kernels to spew packets back as fast as possible single the only thing that those boxes did was tricking keynote. Alex
