Have you guys seen this: This can be a real problem.

Dear Authorize.Net Merchant:

Thank you for using Authorize.Net for your transaction processing.

Authorize.Net is now using Akamai to optimize our Internet traffic routing, which includes your transaction requests. Akamai helps safeguard against interruptions caused by issues beyond Authorize.Net’s direct control, such as Internet congestion, fiber cable cuts and other similar issues.

Using Akamai is currently optional, but will be mandatory for all merchants on June 30th. Upgrade your website or payment solution today to take immediate advantage of Akamai’s benefits.

The new Akamai transaction URLs that are available now are:

Authorize.Net API, XML/JSON format: https://api2.authorize.net/xml/v1/request.api
Authorize.Net API, SOAP format: https://api2.authorize.net/soap/v1/Service.asmx
AIM/SIM merchants, name/value pair format: https://secure2.authorize.net/gateway/transact.dll

We are aware of the changes. You’ll note that in the FAQ, it says the existing URLs will continue to work after June 2016:

The important thing that you’ll need to check is to make sure that your firewall (if you use a firewall) allows the new URLs:
