As I stated to many in off-list mail last night, we were unable to 
get to that IP on any port. It was not just traceroute. My original 
email was indeed lacking in regard to suggesting cluefullness on my 
part. No need to beat on others because *I* tempted them into looking 
less than brilliant by not providing enough original info.

The issue was sorted out after some offlist communication... once 
relevant info was communicated. Clients are happy and making 
transactions again just fine.

My apologies again for any misunderstanding.
Thanks again to those that helped out.

I'm stapling this to a 2x4 and administering it to my forehead to 
remind me about proper communication with this group:
