[opensource-dev] SL viewer DNS activity

[Rodney Young]

Some DNS server operators are configuring servers to block clients that 
make many identical requests as a method of dealing with DNS 
amplification attacks.  I wonder if any of this has affected SL viewers 
with their silly penchant for requesting the IP address of a simulator 
host twice a second for the duration of residency in a region.

Is there a good reason for these repeating queries?

Is this why many residential broadband routers just give up on SL residents?
