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 …
