	Speaking as a fellow Canadian, I know that a number of
Canadian sites have been affected by what seems to be to be a turf war
between MCI and Sprint... having  something to do with the number and
granularity of routes on their routers growing too large (which is due
in part to the way the Canadian agency that gives out numbers
allocates them).

	Basically, our site (PCI) is affected such that trying to
reverse lookup doesn't work for some sites (closer to sprint?), but
does for others.  Our ISP is working on it for us... but we're still
annoyed about it.

Dave.
