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 a bunch of swampy /24s, but
reachability to name servers at ep.net seems to be available again:
