Ben,

That's exactly what I experienced. Routes were dropped to our websites, apple.com, slashdot.org, and many others yet we could still reach google.com, cnn.com, and bunch of others. Traceroutes from our line had the same results you experienced. No trouble was reported when I called SBC though... other than that I should reset my router and switch, and work on my reverse DNS. Can't say I really made it around to fixing all of those problems... maybe Tuesday ;)

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
