Subject: Possible Comcast Load Balancing issues in Chicago?

It’s possible I’m missing something, but it looks like traffic from Comcast 
business customers in the Minneapolis/St. Paul area is not all making it 
through Chicago to my VPN endpoints.  Testing to some of my address space from 
one of the Comcast remote VPN sites, I can get to some numbers and not others 
(odds/evens switch roles depending on the block I trace) fall apart hopping 
though Chicago.  Testing to the same addresses from the HE looking glass, 
everything seems fine.



Any input or even knowledge that it’s being worked on would be appreciated.
