Part of the traceroutes between me and the system I was talking of:

  6  da-ea1.DA.DE.net.DTAG.DE (62.153.179.54)  18.334 ms   22.725 ms   33.803 ms
  4  ams-e4.AMS.NL.net.DTAG.DE (62.154.15.2)  145.264 ms   152.212 ms   160.623 ms

To my eyes it looks like the data is going through Amsterdam IX.

I did not say the host was connected to the IX. I said it was living in a
datacentre connected to Amsterdam IX.

The costumer pays for the ISP beeing present at Amsterdam IX.

If that is not the case please tell me, so they can get their money back.

I am sorry if I mixed up too computers one in the netherlands in an easynet
colocation with another one here in germany with KPN. Both could reach
h.root-servers.net

And this I found from the Amsterdam IX memberlist:

Name:
KPN Internet Solutions - AS286
AS Number: 286
URL: www.as286.net
Member since: 2002-10-14
Organisational contact: info at kpn.net
Peering contact: peering at kpn.net
Peering policy: www.as286.net

So I guess that computer too is connect not via DTAG.DE but via
Amsterdam IX

I never claimed to be a routing guru. I you feel like splitting
hairs you are welcome.

Kind regards,
Peter and Karin Dambier
