I just spoke with SAVVIS (spelled correctly per marketing :) and they were 
very informative and helpful. They explained that they have been working 
with UUNet, but have not seen any resolution yet. I turned up our link and 
BGP session again and all traffic destined for AS701 went through Sprint, 
but it still didn't get past the Sprint-UUNet peering connection. Something 
is screwed up with their ingress filtering from their peering connections. 
All traffic to UUNet is working fine and everything on their network is 
reachable via our UUNet link. UUNet is broken from any other AS I can find.
