Network Solutions has decided to filter our CIDR addr, 169.132 / 16 since about 5 PM yesterday from reaching the internic. Below is a forwarded copy of email exchange between myself, and MCI --
It appears that there is no backup routing engineer at the Internic which troubles me greatly. MCI has been attempting to contact them every 30 minutes since yesterday to no avail.
This is the second time in a month or so that this has happened.
Since I was unable to contact Mark Kosters, I felt it might be helpful to contact Kim Hubbard - To my dismay, she refused to acknowledge our problem and hung up on me with an attitude. <sigh>
For the record, I did not refuse to acknowledge your problem. I refused to acknowledge your wild accusations that Network Solutions was purposely singling out your network number for filtering. You refused to acknowledge that there could be any other possible reason for your problem. Also, I did not hang up on you, with or without an attitude. Kim Hubbard InterNIC Registry
Of course, this pleases me to no end.

Hi there,
One of our peers _idt.net_ cannot reach your site, see the forwarded traceroute.. They cannot route to you from any IP Address within their CIDR Block 169.132.0.0/16.
According to my traceroute, I see that they get filtered out at network-solutions which is your provider. Will you be able to assist? Thanks...
