Akamai (or ANC perhaps) seem to be having some problems in HK at the moment, and for whatever reason, we're being directed to their servers there. An example site that doesn't work well is images.apple.com. We worked around this by finding someone nice who was getting non-HK addresses for Akamai hosted properties, and forwarding our recursive name lookups to them. NB. Only do this if you have low load on your recursive servers, and make sure you check with the owner of the people you direct your lookups to first. -- Nathan Ward
