Just as a follow-up to this:

The situation still exists: 198.32.0.0/16 is still missing in
action in the routing system, and more importantly, so are
EP.net's DNS servers. :-(

So, if Bill magically re-appears, or if anyone else can provide any
insight or assistance, please contact ops-staff () mail-abuse org.

Thanks,

Paging Bill Manning...

Unfortunately, we've tried to reach Bill, as well as other folks at
EP.NET to no avail, and this is impacting us quite negatively.

Not available in any routing tables I have access to or any of the looking
glasses from http://www.nanog.org/lookingglass.html.

this is significant because any in-addr blocks that are authoritative @
flag.ep.net and dot.ep.net will now suffer from reverse name resolution
issues.

route-server>sh ip bgp 198.32.4.13

- - From CerfNET route server:

route-server>sh ip bgp 198.32.4.13
% Network not in table


Allstream Toronto:

route-server.east>sh ip bgp 198.32.4.13                         
% Network not in table

This has been a problem since yesterday evening.
