However, it seems related to the fact that old ‘block-owner’ was:
CCTA, The Government Centre for Information Systems
that is all Linux and the new block-owner is:
UUNET UK (Formerly PIPEX)
that is mixed Linux-NT4-W2K.
It seems that the content providers wanted the switch, but I
wonder what Linux/Apache+modules couldn’t do that the other
platform can do?
