security.d.o and deb.d.o are both hosted on fastly servers, albeit
different sets of servers. What is interesting to me is that the DNS for
security.d.o is operated by Debian whereas the DNS for deb.d.o is run by
fastly.  I'm not sure that it matters but it is a significant difference
between the two.
