Good thing neither pizzahut.com or any other single-homed at&t customer injected an extra prefix into the table and raised everyone's cost by multi-homing! :) -- TTFN, patrick On Jan 20, 2008, at 2:53 AM, Paul Ferguson wrote:

The oddball aspect of this for me was that a friend was wondering why he couldn't reach the Pizza Hut online ordering site [quikorder.pizzahut.com] which is directly attached to AT&T:

%tracert quikorder.pizzahut.com

Tracing route to quikorder.pizzahut.com [129.41.62.29] over a maximum of 30 hops:

Trace complete.

It seems to have crapped out earlier somewhere [various places actually] in the AT&T routing infrastructure.

Pizza ordering apparently is now available. ;-)
