Tru: Thank you for reopening the trouble ticket at Layered Tech and
posting their reply! John Pierce found there was a problem, in Dallas,
when he did a lot of ping tests to centos.org  the  night of the 16th.
There is a problem and if it isn't within Layered Tech, it must be at
Level3 or where they connect. The other day, everyone else was able to
load the web site, when I couldn't, so there must be something about
our connection that makes the problem visible to me, but not to
others. Or, that it involves something on the Level3 route from Miami
to Dallas. However, John Pierce was also going in on Level3, from San
Jose to Dallas, and he discovered a problem.  I would assume, if I
assume, that Layered Tech is the one who can report the problem to
Level3. Possibly the problem is where Level3 does the interconnection
to Layered Tech? This is what John Pierce posted the night of the
16th:

"I did some more pinging later on from one of my servers in San Jose,
California, and saw some signs of route instability at layeredwhazza
where the next hop after what should have been the next-to-last one was
coming from various routers all going 'no route to destination' "

and John Stanley wrote on the 17th:

"But doing another trace to layeredtech
and ltdomains shows bad hops also from my end just like John Pierces
shows. But still I can access it by WWW."

He's right  about that. I just pinged centos.org but the web pages are
not available to me, but are available to others on the list. Below is
a traceroute I just did. Notice hops 8 and 9 are not shown. Lanny
