Hi Craig,

Microsoft apologizes for your routing issue.  Our Wide Area Networking and
Express Route teams were already aware of this issue from your ticket.  I
have communicated with their leadership, and they are working on a fix for
you.


Please feel free to contact me at ingrid.erk...@microsoft.com if you would
like to follow up off list.


Thanks,

Ingrid Erkman

Director of Interconnection

Microsoft
