[AusNOG] Google DNS Blocking/Unblocking

[Damien Gardner Jnr]

Ahh right.  I was more pointing out that the /sorry/ page works on IP
address, not on a cookie for a specific user..  When the IP gets blocked,
doing the captcha there unblocks *all* users behind that IP, not just the
one who entered the captcha.

*disclaimer* that was 14 months ago, may have changed since :)

We rode on the winds of the rising storm,
 We ran to the sounds of thunder.
We danced among the lightning bolts,
 and tore the world asunder
