Hi Mel,

They do. www.arin.net is accessible for me and most of the rest of the
Internet. Your traceroute didn't work because the UDP to random ports
that traceroute generates is likely among the packets the DDOS
mitigator filters out.

If you can't get to the web page with a browser, some things to consider:

1. Are you behind a NAT with anybody else? Anybody who might, say, be
unknowingly participating in a botnet?

2. How good a job does your ISP do scrubbing spoofed source addresses
originated by its clients?
