As much as I hate to derail a rollicking good Bob Allisat conversation, I was wondering whether anyone has some insight into what happened with Yahoo. The main site (although not all properties) has been offline since 10:30 am pt Monday.
It doesn't *appear* to be Global Crossing's problem, though I can't be sure. GC is mum on the phone.

Yahoo seems to be down by itself, but GC (The former Exodus?) was majorly hosed for a couple of hours today, at least when seen from UUnet. This has cleared up since.

I certainly heard about it from customers today. traceroute to www.zagat.com (208.49.149.212) from XXXXXXXXXXXXX [...] 3 104.ATM3-0.XR1.NYC1.ALTER.NET (146.188.177.138) 3.712 ms 3.145 ms 3.052 ms 4 195.ATM8-0-0.BR1.NYC1.ALTER.NET (146.188.177.145) 4.212 ms 5.174 ms 4.813 ms 5 s5-0-1.ar2.JFK.gblx.net (206.132.150.129) 1122.873 ms 1073.231 ms 1101.993 ms 6 pos3-1-155M.cr2.JFK.gblx.net (206.132.253.105) 1168.070 ms 1123.118 ms 1201.008 ms 7 pos7-0-622M.wr2.NYC2.gblx.net (206.132.253.90) 1154.076 ms 1178.267 ms 1283.370 ms 8 pos5-0-622M.cr1.LGA2.gblx.net (208.48.234.110) 1305.236 ms 1211.578 ms 1160.075 ms 9 pos0-0-0-155M.hr1.LGA2.gblx.net (206.41.19.82) 1163.316 ms 1113.633 ms 1141.507 ms 10 208.49.149.212 (208.49.149.212) 1205.369 ms 1145.163 ms 1174.641 ms traceroute to www.redhat.com (206.132.41.203) from XXXXXXXXXXXXX [...] 3 104.ATM3-0.XR1.NYC1.ALTER.NET (146.188.177.138) 3.720 ms 5.132 ms 4.813 ms 4 195.ATM11-0-0.BR1.NYC1.ALTER.NET (146.188.177.153) 5.397 ms 5.801 ms 5.140 ms 5 s5-0-1.ar2.JFK.gblx.net (206.132.150.129) 1431.172 ms 1367.087 ms * 6 pos3-1-155M.cr1.JFK.gblx.net (206.132.253.97) 1422.397 ms 1414.411 ms 1436.914 ms 7 pos4-0-622M.cr2.SNV2.gblx.net (206.132.254.58) 1447.231 ms 1435.575 ms 1513.114 ms 8 pos12-0-0-155M.hr2.SNV2.gblx.net (206.132.151.70) 1436.062 ms 1471.972 ms 1484.755 m s 9 206.132.41.203 (206.132.41.203) 1488.684 ms * 1456.976 ms traceroute www.yahoo.com traceroute to www.yahoo.com (204.71.200.75) from XXXXXXXXXXXXX [...] 3 104.ATM1-0.XR1.NYC1.ALTER.NET (146.188.177.130) 5.068 ms 4.354 ms 3.666 ms 4 195.ATM11-0-0.BR1.NYC1.ALTER.NET (146.188.177.153) 4.744 ms 7.307 ms 4.936 ms 5 s5-0-1.ar2.JFK.gblx.net (206.132.150.129) 1394.909 ms 1411.402 ms 1440.205 ms 6 pos3-1-155M.cr1.JFK.gblx.net (206.132.253.97) 1384.353 ms 1430.991 ms 1379.290 ms 7 * * * 8 * * * 9 *^C
