oasis-open.org ping

Today, I got a "Resource temporarily unavailable" error while trying to compile gnumeric that pointed to "http://www.oasis-open.org". That didn't concern me too much, but I pinged the site just for fun and got:

PING www.oasis-open.org (172.99.100.168) 56(84) bytes of data.
64 bytes from antiddos.ghostsquadhackers.org (172.99.100.168): icmp_seq=1 ttl=252 time=14.4 ms
64 bytes from antiddos.ghostsquadhackers.org (172.99.100.168): icmp_seq=2 ttl=252 time=14.8 ms

Oasis documents are involved in a lot of the software I use besides gnumeric, so you can imagine that I was a little alarmed. Can anyone give me a clue about this?

Re: oasis-open.org ping

That secondary domain name is not secretive about what it is.  oasis-open.org simply seems not to respond to ICMP requests, but rather has a ddos protection service replying for them.
