Yes... yes it is.  But in this case it would work since what was happening
was a buffer overflow occuring due to code red and other infected machines.
So, unplugging the router would actually free the RAM up and "fix" the
problem, but not the issue.

Whereas what they should have told me months earlier was to close a bunch of
remote admin ports that they never tell the customers are open.  The code
red would overflow the telnet remote admin port.

Ah well,
