Sorry... My previous (panicy ;) e-mail wasn't at all self-explanatory. The NetGate router 140.200.128.9 is advertising all kinds of /32 routes for things it shouldn't to us. The 9999 tag below indicates a route originating on NZIX alive and well within our interior routing protocol; in this case the route is 209.155.82.18/32, a host route for ftp.cdrom.com. OSPF routes learnt from 140.200.128.9 at the exchange are now being dropped by our routers; this _shouldn't_ hurt any NetGate customers, since we peer directly in Auckland using BGP (and apply filter lists). If any NetGate customer finds themselves unable to reach CLIX by any sensible route through the network, please post details. Thanks, Joe On Mon, Oct 26, 1998 at 09:48:26PM +1300, Joe Abley wrote:
Arron/Sandy,
You people seem to be advertising an awful lot of crap to us over NZIX; the following is an example (209.155.82.18 is ftp.cdrom.com):
ba1.acld#ping ftp.cdrom.com
Type escape sequence to abort. Sending 5, 100-byte ICMP Echos to 209.155.82.18, timeout is 2 seconds: .!!..

This seems bad!
Anybody else seeing this?
I will be blocking OSPF updates from NetGate over NZIX very shortly... Any feedback or confirmation from anybody else would be most welcome.
