   Put this in your hosts file to prevent your computer from   
   sending/receiving traffic to (what-ever).1e100.net:   
      
   127.0.0.1  ajax.googleapis.com

   I rarely look at my router's incoming log, but when I do I assume that   
   what I'm seeing is either P2P related (other people's P2P client looking   
   for a connection to my IP because my IP used to belong to someone doing   
   torrenting in the past) or the hits are bots looking for backdoors.   
      
   I'm curious - what Amazon clients would be using AWS-EC2 services to   
   knock on people's doors?   
      
   But to get back to ajax.googleapis for a minute:   
      
   I'm running a local web-server on my machine that serves up various .js   
   files that would ordinarily come from the hosts that I'm blocking with   
   the hosts file.   
      
   I intend to de-compile these js files and remove any back-tracking they   
   might be doing.
