Stephen, Thanks for the snide tone of your reply. It was just what I was looking for... Or...I was attempting to discover if I was the only one seeing these problems, which does sometimes happen inside of Cisco's firewall(s). With all of the energy (and bandwidth) that has been devoted to sending replies like yours, it's no wonder the on-topic subject seems to come up more often than not. nanog is an operational list, so I attempted to locate a source of information for something that was not operating. I was indeed attempting to use it for something other than spam hate-mail, flaming, and the occasional bout of an inflated ego (or two). Also, I'm not all that interested in what you find "interesting" or not, in fact, I am surprised you bothered to respond at all, given your profound lack of interest and all... And yes, I sent an email to Rob. The Exodus NOC is not all that...well, you know. Larry ----------

Not until you mentioned it; I don't consider the content published by GeoCities or HotBot to be interesting at all, but I did a couple traceroutes special just for you and I can't reach either.

Have you considered notifying the Exodus NOC? Or did you just want to share the fact that you can't reach Geocities and HotBot with a few thousand people to see how many agree?
