doubtful it's GEO related from both ATL and SAC and IAD I get the same dns mappings: ;; ANSWER SECTION: siteseal.thawte.com. 900 IN A 65.205.248.247 siteseal.thawte.com. 900 IN A 65.205.248.251 siteseal.thawte.com. 900 IN A 65.205.248.236 siteseal.thawte.com. 900 IN A 65.205.248.240 siteseal.thawte.com. 900 IN A 65.205.248.242 siteseal.thawte.com. 900 IN A 65.205.248.246 I don't, however, get any reasonable response on port 443 to these ips...
