Feel free to aim your automated liveliness tests at it. Of course we reserve the right to apply the ban hammer if abused. There is also a HTTP page that will return the client IP address if that might be useful: <http://fap.cymru.com/ip> Would a DNS-based interface and a more complete web-based interface that returns additional, useful detail for automated tests be of value? Feel free to shoot me your suggestions off line. Note, it is only a single research system now, but if the community desires it, we would certianly consider scaling it to better serve the global community.
