Which going back to what I've been saying before - your DNS is barfed I would seriously like to know how you are blocking phorm.

Can I add a final note ?

I don't know how you're blocking those IP ranges but it's not going to help. If I were to design the phorm infrastructure I would have to build my application servers and message queuing system within Virgin's infrastructure.

Pushing each request out especially if they are managed by some small outfit like fasthosts is going to overload their network and imply latency to the end user. Hmmm come to think about Virgin doesn't give a toss about the end user experience so they might adopt this model anyway

But ideally message pooling within Virgin's network is going to be the best way to implement phorm and if that's the case there's going to be no escaping phorm
