[server-admins] routes

[Troy A. Griffitts]

Dear Support at Extreme Internet,

Within the past few weeks CrossWire.org has seen routing problems from
various parts of the world.  We've had problems reported from Mexico,
Brazil, and Africa / Zimbabwe among others.  Below is a traceroute from
our server to IPs which are reporting problems, and one from the IP to
our server.  Any help would be appreciated.



Traceroute away from crosswire.org toward any of the addresses in
question dies, not on crosswire.org itself, but 2 hops away:

[charcoal at www ~]$ traceroute 196.215.26.11
traceroute to 196.215.26.11 (196.215.26.11), 30 hops max, 60 byte packets
