Authorize.net Transition to Akamai

[sohopros]

Authorize.net sent the following notice:

As we get further into 2016, we want to remind you of our previously announced Akamai SureRoute implementation plan and timelines. Using Akamai's technology will help safeguard against interruptions caused by issues beyond our direct control, such as Internet congestion, fiber cable cuts and other similar issues.

If you have not already, please review the announcement and the Akamai FAQs to determine what action you should take for your particular solution. If your solution uses a firewall, please pay particular attention to this section of the FAQs to make sure you avoid any disruptions to your transaction processing.

Our Sysadmin says:

On your site code, make sure you are linking to Authorize.net via domain name rather than IP, or your connection might break during the transition.

- Can anyone confirm that the Virtuemart plugin for Authorize.net links by domain name and not IP?
