Yep, DoubleClick is working on it. They have been testing new loadbalancers, 
since this is the cause. I have no idea what the current status is, but we 
(at IDG Netherlands) have a tech-rep coming in this month, so I can stress 
the issue once again.
If our collegaes at O'Reilly could do the same, it would surely help. I'll 
raise the issue within IDG internationally also.
