powerbook:~ mark$ ping rest.akismet.com
	ping: cannot resolve rest.akismet.com: Unknown host
powerbook:~ mark$ ping [MY_API_KEY].rest.akismet.com
	ping: cannot resolve [MY_API_KEY].rest.akismet.com: Unknown host
powerbook:~ mark$ ping -c 1 akismet.com
	PING akismet.com (72.21.44.242): 56 data bytes
	64 bytes from 72.21.44.242: icmp_seq=0 ttl=48 time=49.013 ms
