>Description:
	For the past month or so, freebsd.org has been unreachable from Dalhousie University (Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada) IP addresses.  Until today, www.freebsd.org was accessible.  The traceroute (pasted below) shows problems after routerer-pat1.freebsd.org (216.115.101.225). Connecting from IPs from local, private ISPs works fine.  Perhaps there is an invalid redirect for Atlantic Canadian university IP blocks?
