The problem in this case is probably the load balancing systems that
NSI is now using, which have known bogus behaviour when interacting
with PMTU-D.  NSI should disable PMTU-D on their servers until they
can fix this problem; fixing this problem probably involves having
the vendor for their load balancing boxes fixing their broken
software.

What load balancing systems are known to mess up with PMTU-D ?
