I noticed just a little while ago that we're having a lot of DNS fail. Initial findings were that several of the root-servers we were trying to reach via our TWTelecom link were unreachable after 2 hops into TWT. 4 64-128-130-233.static.twtelecom.NET (64.128.130.233) 2.399 ms 2.298 ms 2.338 ms 5 mia2-pr1-xe-1-3-0-0.us.twtelecom.net (66.192.253.18) 11.571 ms 11.552 ms 9.467 ms 6 * * * 7 * * * 8 * * * For instance, a.root-servers.net is pingable from a rackspace server, but not from our network (unless I shut off TWT, at which point it is, but it's apparently not the same a.root-servers.net instance rackspace sees). I assume this is one of the root-servers being anycast. Shutting off our BGP with TWT didn't appear to help (though the root-servers became reachable)...so I assume there's more going on than just TWT routing fail. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Jon Lewis, MCP :) | I route Senior Network Engineer | therefore you are Atlantic Net | _________ http://www.lewis.org/~jlewis/pgp for PGP public key_________
