Well, the idea came up on slashdot (script included), and one of the replies 
was to use ab.  ab is Apache Benchmark, and should be installed with Apache.  
You can send a very high number of requests in a short period of time.  Of 
course your own bandwidth has to support the requests, and ACS/GCI would 
probably disapprove of doing it all the time.  But sending 1,000 requests or so 
every couple of days might help Verisign feel loved.  Who knows, maybe it would 
help them sell advertising space on the web page!

ab -p "We love you, Verisign" -n 1000 www.dsfaasdrccssdrc.com/


Cheers,

James
