I now changed my subscription and am re-sending that email.  I apologize in advance if the moderator releases the original mail and you see a duplicate.  — Michael)

> I teach computer science at Case Western Reserve University.  I have a group of students working on a research project to characterize certain aspects of DNS and HTTP interactions on the Web.  To get a representative measurement, we need to resolve hostnames from top-1M websites from a large number of widely dispersed probes.  So we need a large amount of credits and I was wondering if I could ask folks for help.  My back of the envelop calculations suggest we are short of ~200M credits.   I realize it’s a large amount, but we would take any help we can get and will conduct as credible measurement as we can with the credits we assemble!  Please note that my RIPE Atlas account is associated with mail alias misha at case.edu <mailto:misha at case.edu> (not the default email address I am sending from), so please use “misha at case.edu <mailto:misha at case.edu>” for credit transfer if you can help.
