[ossig] Offtopic : Mathworld bans (some) streamyx IP's

[Nur Hussein <nhussein@xxxxxxxxx>]

I wonder who's been up to no good using Streamyx IP's. I can't access
http://mathworld.wolfram.com with Streamyx :(

Access Denied to IP Address 219.x.x.x

Thank you for your interest in Eric Weisstein's World of Mathematics.
Unfortunately, your client, subnet, proxy, or cache server has been
identified as source of an excessive number of hits which appear to
have originated from a robot or spider.

*snip*

Please note that this block is not imposed arbitrarily, but only as a
result of an analysis of excessive traffic over a short period of time
received from the currently blocked subnet. Analysis indicates that
this is not simply the result of many different users on a single
subnet, but rather originates from rapid-fire machine-generated
requests.
---------------------------------------------

Anyone else using Streamyx have this problem? Sigh. That's one my
favourite sites... I was even thinking of getting one of their
t-shirts.
