There are only a few opers who deal with routing the network...purely because they're the ones who know what they're doing and get recognised as the authorities on the matter...there's also a lot of politics to do with routing, like US opers don't like to touch the routing of EU servers (and vice versa). Practical upshot, unless there are opers about willing/able to re-route the network when there's lag, it stays the way it is until some turn up. Yes it sucks, but it's how it is and how it's been for ages. -- Chris "_Shad0w_" Crowther [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.shad0w.org.uk/
