[pca] Heads-up: New download service

[Jeff Earickson]

Paul, Don et al,

I too am seeing the Limelight networks addresses and I am in the US,
not Europe.  My pca debug sessions hung on aru-llnw.oracle.com and
aru-llnw-dl.oracle.com; I ended up adding 208.111.128.0/24 into my
firewall rules to get pca working again.

Paul, it would be nice if pca spit up a message if a URL connection
times out, even if you are not running in debug mode.  That would be a
clue that
either something was down at the Oracle end, or there is a
change/firewall issue.  Otherwise you tend to assume that things are
working normally.

Don, I have noticed a big drop-off in Solaris 10 patches in the past
month to six weeks.  Is this because a new release of Solaris 10 is
about to happen?
