Re: Slow IN-ADDR.ARPA responses

Hi John


I have seen similar cases in past with root servers itself. Usually
problems are that local anycasted node here goes down and thus traffic is
redirected to other nearest server in Europe causing high latency. Can you
share traceroute result of a good Vs bad node say A Vs C. Can you see both
coming from within your country?
