L and M exhibited the same symptoms as A and J, otherwords when doing a trace route to these servers I received a ICMP Time Exceeded message from the ALTER.NET router in SFO. At the time of the outage I gronked a perl script to read my hints file and ran a trace to those that were not pingable. While crude it at least showed those servers that were having problems. This is how I gen'd the list of "problem" machines. Hope this answers your question...... jmbrown@ihighway.net John M. Brown At 08:03 AM 7/23/98 -0700, you wrote:
Incase you are dependant on ALTER.NET's SFO ATM link its having problems. Thus you may not be able to get to A, J, L and M root servers or Internic.net
No other info is available at this time.

Internic.net, A, & J perhaps. I don't know why you lump L and M in this list.
