[atlas] Probe with ever changing upstreams/ASs?

Hi Robert,

hmm... now what?

Shall we give it a try?

What I could do for start is to relocate my probe #159 to this Freifunk 
port, say for a week or so - and you guys would keep a close eye on it 
wrt. the results it delivers during this period.

What do you think?

Cheers,

	-C.
