Network Problem

[Larry Riddle <lriddle@xxxxxxxx>]

I don't know if this will get through or not.  We are experiencing network 
problems.  Downstream nodes may want to failover to their alternates.

Estimated get-well time is unknown because nobody can figure out what is 
wrong.  I am currently not able to ldmping thelma.ucar.edu (NAMED state 
reports "lookup timed out").  A standard unix ping from aeolus to thelma 
gets nowhere.  A ping to thelma from another host reports a 70% packet loss.

Not sure what's going on, but something like this usually only occurs on a 
Friday afternoon.
