I must apologise to the group. I have been a long time subscriber but don't post. Mailing list technology is a bit before my time so I was not exactly sure how I was to keep replies within the same thread / branch on the list archive. I was assuming if I forward to the list, it would place it in the correct thread much like a support ticketing system based on subject. Of course I was forwarding a few emails one after the other with responses and didn't see the particular email was sent to me off list. I shall go and find a how-to wiki on this mailing list stuff next time I need to post. With regards to my issue, I have our IP block / ASN advertised on our behalf by our upstream provider as we don't peer using BGP. The NOC at vocus replied to me and said somewhere along the chain there is an issue and they were most helpful in passing a message to whoever is responsible. As predicted by those who responded to my query, they were very fast in their response. Jonathan Brewer has quite rightly reminded me this is one of the woes of tier 7 bandwidth..something I should look at changing. Anyhow, thanks for the help Ray Taylor Taylor Communications ray(a)ruralkiwi.com Ph 021-483-280 Network status 06-929-9082 Description: header_logo
