The link between cbit and hutch should be considered DEAD until further notice. There is somebody out there who is routing things to us through cbit (I don't know why, it's an extra hop) and I think it is caip. Please don't route to us via cbit; use cbmvax. Probably this is happening automatically and it shouldn't. I'll be looking into things from my end. -- Steve Barber Rabbit Software Corp. ...!ihnp4!{cbmvax,cuuxb}!hutch!barber ...!psuvax1!burdvax!hutch!barber (215) 647-0440 7 Great Valley Parkway East Malvern PA 19355

You'll have to talk to the folks at cbmvax to get this straightened out ultimately. Here's the cause of your problem: cbmvax cbit(DEMAND), hutch(DAILY/4) cbit hutch(DIRECT) If you were pathalias, which path would you choose? A DEMAND+DIRECT path weighs in at 500. A DAILY/4 path weighs in at 1250.... -- -Mel Pleasant uucp: ...{harvard, seismo, ut-sally, sri-iu, ihnp4!packard}!topaz!pleasant arpa: PLEASANT@RUTGERS

Well, then again I may have been the one to submit the cbit map entry (sigh...). An unfortunate case of managment paranoia where two of my leaf sites can't talk to each other since they both consider anything but outward dialing a unacceptable security risk... -- George Robbins - now working for, uucp: {ihnp4|seismo|caip}!cbmvax!grr but no way officially representing arpa: cbmvax!grr@seismo.css.GOV Commodore, Engineering Department fone: 215-431-9255 (only by moonlite)
