Trouble reaching whois.ripe.net and www.ietf.org

[Williams, Marc]

Alexander / Stig,

	Currently, access to www.ietf.org is via a single tunnel from
OCCAID in Ashburn, VA.   Are you aware of any carrier out there who
would be willing and well equiped to provide redundant access to IETF
for cases like this?  Perhaps we could have supressed advertisement of
our prefixes toward the trouble.
