Brilliant. Why did not you try "telnet <target.ip> 80"? Just because random packets spewed by traceroute are dropped on the floor does not mean that the site is dead.
As I stated to many in off-list mail last night, we were unable to get to that IP on any port. It was not just traceroute. My original email was indeed lacking in regard to suggesting cluefullness on my part. No need to beat on others because *I* tempted them into looking less than brilliant by not providing enough original info.
The issue was sorted out after some offlist communication... once relevant info was communicated. Clients are happy and making transactions again just fine.
My apologies again for any misunderstanding. Thanks again to those that helped out. --chuckI'm stapling this to a 2x4 and administering it to my forehead to remind me about proper communication with this group:
