[Alastair Waddell]

Mark, it's just the host asiapacific and not the host on anu.edu.au

asiapacific.anu.edu.au has address 150.203.231.39
anu.edu.au has address 130.56.60.81


port 443 is responding though I can't load a page

telnet asiapacific.anu.edu.au 443
Trying 150.203.231.39...
Connected to asiapacific.anu.edu.au.
Escape character is '^]'.

but port 80 is a no-show.

It does look like a resource-exhausted host suggesting DoS.


Regards,
Alastair
