It would be like expecting Dixons (or whoever) to fix a Microsoft OS problem when it crashes your pc - just because you bought the pc from them.
If its a known problem it must be able to be monitored, like the rest of the network components . It was reported last night at around 9.30pm yet 7.00am still the same.
If it has known problems there needs to be a fix its no good having good proxies with load balancing software that is not reliable .
Its a weak link in the system

What annoys me on this board is that if a customer says something that can be interpreted as a dig at NTL they get the NTL Associates standing up.
But if its a true fact like the unreliable routing software you are winging and things brake down.
Talk about double standards
