RE: Website down

Interesting. A quick search on Excite found a nice little url that 
has a 'world' java app for traceroutes. For those interested in a 
quick look can go here:

http://visualroute.datametrics.com/

Anyway, while checking "www.openbsd.org", visualroute's diagnostics 
reveals:

=-=-=-
Analysis: 'www.openbsd.org' was found in 16 hops (TTL=237). But, 
problems starting at hop 15 in network "Telus Advanced 
Communications" are causing IP packets to be dropped. Connections to 
HTTP port 80 are being rejected. 
=-=-=-

As stated - the problem isn't the site - its the route to the site, 
or a router/connection within the University of Alberta. 

The reason "openbsd.org" works is because "openbsd.org" has the same 
ip as "cvs.openbsd.org", and fortunately on a different subnet and 
route the "www.openbsd.org".

Hope they fix it soon!

(Just my 2bits)
