Paging Bill Manning...

Unfortunately, we've tried to reach Bill, as well as other folks at
EP.NET to no avail, and this is impacting us quite negatively.

[snip]

Not available in any routing tables I have access to or any of the looking
glasses from http://www.nanog.org/lookingglass.html.

this is significant because any in-addr blocks that are authoritative @
flag.ep.net and dot.ep.net will now suffer from reverse name resolution
issues. 

- From ATT route server:

route-server>sh ip bgp 198.32.4.13
% Network not in table


- From CerfNET route server:

route-server>sh ip bgp 198.32.4.13
% Network not in table


Allstream Toronto:

route-server.east>sh ip bgp 198.32.4.13                         
% Network not in table

This has been a problem since yesterday evening.
