Hm. I've traceroute'd from my local network, & from 2 separate VPNs. I.e., disparate, unrelated nets. All 3 fail at the same points. E.g. at qwest.net, traceroute to ns1.irs.gov (152.216.7.164), 64 hops max, 40 byte packets 1 205.166.94.3 (205.166.94.3) 0.449 ms 0.502 ms 0.661 ms 2 ge4-2.core1.sea2.hopone.net (209.160.60.197) 0.307 ms 0.214 ms 0.221 ms 3 ge4-0.core2.sea2.hopone.net (66.36.224.178) 0.311 ms 0.255 ms 0.213 ms 4 tuk-edge-14.inet.qwest.net (209.160.62.181) 4.990 ms 2.548 ms 1.831 ms 5 * * * * ^C and, at above.net traceroute to irs.gov (166.123.218.220), 64 hops max, 40 byte packets 1 205.166.94.3 (205.166.94.3) 0.400 ms 0.357 ms 0.368 ms 2 ge4-2.core2.sea2.hopone.net (209.160.60.221) 0.309 ms 0.219 ms 0.221 ms 3 xe1-0.core1.sea1.hopone.net (66.36.224.18) 0.899 ms 0.516 ms 0.517 ms 4 six.zayo.com (206.81.80.19) 5.727 ms 2.561 ms 2.713 ms 5 ae28.cs2.sea1.us.eth.zayo.com (64.125.29.104) 73.903 ms 73.941 ms 73.880 ms 6 ae2.cs2.ord2.us.eth.zayo.com (64.125.29.29) 79.937 ms 81.214 ms 79.996 ms 7 ae3.cs2.lga5.us.eth.zayo.com (64.125.29.212) 81.292 ms 81.616 ms 83.187 ms 8 ae4.cs2.dca2.us.eth.zayo.com (64.125.29.31) 75.848 ms 75.942 ms 90.155 ms 9 ae27.cr2.dca2.us.zip.zayo.com (64.125.30.249) 73.776 ms 73.742 ms 79.154 ms 10 ae2.er2.dca2.us.zip.zayo.com (64.125.26.178) 73.509 ms 73.459 ms 73.443 ms 11 64.125.170.158.t00822-05.above.net (64.125.170.158) 95.315 ms 95.392 ms 95.391 ms 12 * * * * ^C What's your TR look like to "ns1.irs.gov" and "irs.gov" ? _______________________________________________ Please visit https://lists.isc.org/mailman/listinfo/bind-users to unsubscribe from this list bind-users mailing list bind-users@lists.isc.org https://lists.isc.org/mailman/listinfo/bind-users
