The differences here are because gondolin.org had serious DNS problems in January that caused alot of mail to be bounced. Those problems were rectified.. hence our traffic flows now...

Thank you, Bryan! This is _precisely_ the kind of info I'm interested in.

The latency differences are normal for gondolin because we are not on the net, we get our mail via UUCP one hop away from the internet itself. Since our polling is fairly irregular, our latency will move up and down from month to month.

Makes sense. And I don't particularly care about variability as long as I have a sense of the boundaries. Which my tests define for me. :-) -- Bruce Baugh bruce@aracnet.com http://www.aracnet.com/~bruce
