Please tell about the experiences you personally had with open recursor
attacks at Afilias.
Afilias doesn't seem to run open recursors--is that correct? Was
Afilias a target of an attack? If so, what did Afilias do to mitigate
the attack? Why couldn't the attack be mitigated using ordinary
methods? I don't seem to have any mention anywhere about Afilias being
down or harmed as a result of any attack.
