DoS = Denial of Service

You're essentially breaking some of your very own functionality. F.e.
you webbrowser wanting to connect to a website using Akamai's load
balancing. By blocking the traffic, you're hindering the loadbalancer
and it will throw you onto the lame default server, which is lame
because all other lamers are thrown there.

It's not due to my opinion that ZA is crap.
