> This means DNS queries will not resolve for government employees if they point to Linode hosted machines.

This is total FUD. Please check your statements for accuracy.

I agree. I work in a govt agency and while linode.com is blocked, I can still access my site that is hosted at linode as well as the linked site below in comments. Searching us-cert for linode, turns up the following: http://www.us-cert.gov/cas/techalerts/TA10-055A.html

I work for a gov agency and both linode and hosted sites work for me.

Not FUD. Verified for multiple cases in which a CNAME points to a linode XXX.members.linode.com address.

I'm guessing the variance is due to different agencies implementing different security stuff. Again, 3x verified & no intent of FUD --- I love linode.
