[ale] can anyone explain this?

[Chris Bergeron]

Here's an example of what I was talking about:

[root at proto1 /root]# ping -c 3 www.bass-associates.com 
PING www.bass-associates.com (12.108.240.165) from 24.98.82.217 : 56(84)
bytes of data.
--- www.bass-associates.com ping statistics ---
3 packets transmitted, 1 packets received, 66% packet loss
round-trip min/avg/max/mdev = 29.307/29.307/29.307/0.000 ms


[root at proto1 /root]# ping -q -c 3 www.bass-associates.com
PING www.bass-associates.com (12.108.240.165) from 24.98.82.217 : 56(84)
bytes of data.
--- www.bass-associates.com ping statistics ---
3 packets transmitted, 3 packets received, 0% packet loss
round-trip min/avg/max/mdev = 29.554/29.827/29.972/0.239 ms

Pretty odd if you ask me.  I think the problem is my secondary DNS, but
I'm not certain just yet.  When I get home tonight, I will try tracing
the route from the Winbox and the Linbox to see how they differ (if at
all; I don't think they do).
