Yesterday morning, I noticed mail-abuse.org appeared to be down (unreachable). I checked again, and it's still unreachable. In fact, I can't even reach its name server. I did some more looking last night, and it seems it's not down, it's just unreachable from my network. Even stranger, it's only unreachable from Atlantic.Net's primary ARIN block of 209.208.0.0/17. Traceroutes die at so-1-1-0.mpr1.sql1.us.mfnx.net (209.249.203.58). Router interfaces (using provider IPs) and a smaller IP block from an ISP we acquired are able to reach mail-abuse.org, as are other networks I have access to. We don't appear to be listed in the MAPS RBL+. I've tried clearing BGP sessions, forcing packets out through alternate paths, with no affect. Is this some weird routing glitch somewhere between me and MAPS or has someone at MAPS or vix.com decided they don't like me? Also, though it seems to be on a totally different network, I've just noticed I have the same problem reaching f.root-servers.net only from 209.208.0.0/17. Here traceroutes die at 189.ATM11-0-0.BR1.PAO1.ALTER.NET (146.188.148.105). I certainly hope this isn't yet another case of someone confusing Atlantic.Net/Internet Connect Company, Inc. with ATLANTIC INTERNET (NETBLK-Q0417-65-124-104-0) 621 NW 53RD ST. SUIT E135 BOCA RATON, FL 33487 US Netname: Q0417-65-124-104-0 Netblock: 65.124.104.0 - 65.124.111.255 Atlantic Internet is full of commercial spammers and has just recently resulted in several providers blacklisting our primary ARIN block thinking we were the same company. -- ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Jon Lewis *jlewis@lewis.org*| I route System Administrator | therefore you are Atlantic Net | _________ http://www.lewis.org/~jlewis/pgp for PGP public key_________
