It was a stale DNS entry. Now fixed (modulo TTLs and such), thanks. That said, your troubleshooting was troubleshooting a different problem, not your browser's inability to retrieve the page. The way the browser sends the request is something like this (note the HTTP version and the host header):
ayourtch@mcmini:~$ telnet -6 6lab.cisco.com 80 Trying 2001:420:4420:101:0:c:15c0:4664... Connected to 6lab.cisco.com. Escape character is '^]'.

If you tell your client address I will be able to test this theory. Or you can quickly tweak your local interface value to 1280 and if that works, then tell me your client address so i could debug from the other side. --a On 11/21/13, Matthew Petach <mpet...@netflight.com> wrote: > On Wed, Nov 20, 2013 at 1:30 PM, Gary E.
