I had some strange problems yesterday.  debugging with traceroute showed
some sbcglobal routers were having difficulty.

my problem...

- I have SBC global is the dsl provider at home.

- two business locations 15 miles apart are connected via pyramid.com
  dsl.  these locations have adjacent IP addresses, are on the same
  subnet and have the same default gateway.

- trying to traceroute to one of these locations succeeded.  (so I could
  see a working path of routers between my house and the working
  location.)

- traceroute to the second location failed, and I could see the path of
  routers taken was different...  the change occurred right in the middle
  of sbcglobal's network, and the trace failed to make it out the other
  end of sbcglobal's network.

- (double check: I was able to reach the second location from the first,
  and folks at the second location were able to reach the parts of the
  net they needed.)

weird, eh?  I can't help it...  I hate phone companies.  I shouldn't
hate...  I know...  the darkside and all....  thank goodness the force
isn't with me.  ;)  I'd be a sith by now for sure.

my problem was corrected after a few hours.

- Ben
