Hi, There still seems to be a problem of some sort. This morning (between 0800 & 0900 GMT) I was able to get some results checked in but since then I'm getting "server unavailable" from the client. > > > > traceroute shows a nice loop: > This is typical of a problem at a network leaf node. The site router has a default route which points down the link to the network as a whole; when the "leaf" (target host) is online it generates a local route which overrides the default for the address(es) used. Meanwhile the network node to which the site router connects has a route for the entire site. So a packet with the leaf's address bounces between site & the adjacent network node routers until it times out.
The _correct_ configuration at the site is to specify a static default route for the whole site's address which points to a null interface so that undeliverable packets are instantly dropped.
