Hi All,

  I was just wondering if anyone out there knows why root-server are trying to
ping some of my hosts...  I've left messages for their tech contact, but no
response as yet...

Logs from my cisco..

ICMP packet debugging is on

Surely they can't be trying to do this to everyone....

Any ideas,

THanks,
jason
