I didn’t set it up, but I did tear it down.

Is it that atypical for these public-facing services to drop ICMP when they get 
hot? I'd not consider it an indicator of service down unless you're getting 
SRVFAILs

This happens occasionally on 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4. We used to use these IPs as

Seeing some hosts and not others get no reply to ICMP pings from the 
Minneapolis, MN area. I checked using HE's looking glass, 1 of their 2 
Minneapolis routers gets no replies. Since many use and assume 8.8.8.8 is 
invincible, this has now started setting off monitoring alerts. DNS queries so 
far seem unaffected.
