Poor connectivity to new b.root-servers.net address?

I have two sites (in AS 2116 and 3307) here in Norway which cannot
reach the new b.root-servers.net address, 192.228.79.201. No answers
to DNS requests, no ping replies, traceroute times out. Everything
works normally from a third site, in AS 224.

Both prefixes (193.71.0.0/16 and 194.19.0.0/17) of the problem
addresses are visible on route-views.oregon-ix.net, via multiple
paths.

Any suggestions why this is happening?

I've read about similar requests on Frnog, the french
equivalent of Nanog. They've been having issues since the
ip change.
