[urgent assistance] 198.32.0.0/16 - Disappeared...

Hash: SHA1

I'm not sure that 198.32.0.0/16 was ever advertised. EP.NET runs a

registry for exchange points and other people that Bill feels like
helping out and assigns from that number range; since the /16 covers
many varied applications and organisations all over the planet, it
seems unlikely that a /16 would do anything useful.

I have no problems reaching FLAG.EP.NET (198.32.4.13), DOT.EP.NET

(198.32.2.10), both of which live in subnets numbered from
198.32.0.0/16 and administered by EP.NET directly.

Hi Joe,

Yes, I'm aware that 198.32.0.0/16 is really only a bunch of
swampy /24 allocations -- mea cupla.

In any event, flag.ep.net seems to be reachable now, so things
are good again:
