Just as an update, the .tp domain (East Timor) hosted in Ireland was
apparently taken down Tuesday by an Indonesian-government sponsored,
synchronized cyberwar attack from 18 distributed attackers.
(http://www.isr.net/index1.html).  The only available defensive response by
the hosting ISP, Connect-Ireland, was to shut everything down since the
attack totally penetrated their systems.
