Probably a local anti-DDOS measure, I see the same at XS4ALL for part of
217.26.192.0/23, especially around 217.26.193.15 (aljns1sa.nav-link.net)
which is another nameserver for aljazeera.net.

Currently, I get two nameservers for aljazeera.net, 217.26.193.15 and
213.30.180.218:

$ dnsqr ns aljazeera.net
2 aljazeera.net:

$ dnsqr a ns3.aljazeera.net
1 ns3.aljazeera.net:
51 bytes, 1+1+0+0 records, response, noerror

The first one, 217.26.193.15 is part of a route 217.26.192.0/23 which
originates from AS16046 (Navlink), the second one, 213.30.180.218 is part of
213.30.128.0/18 which originates from AS12670 (Completel).

The Navlink AS is a stub AS which is connected only to Completel and
AS3215 (France Telecom), both of which are of course well connected.

Both IP addresses are unreachable:

$ traceroute 217.26.193.15

As you can see, that one is blocked /very/ early by XS4ALL. Perhaps
they've taken measures because of DDOS zombies they saw on their network.
216.26.192.1 which is part of the same route traces all the way to FT.

The last hop's IP is already part of AS12670 (Completel), but as you can see,
the ping time is suddenly not exactly stellar. I can reach other addresses
originating from AS12670 fine though, such as 195.167.224.38 (Completel's
website), which takes the same AS path and gives excellent ping times,

The problem with the nameserver that's not blocked here seems local to
Completel's network; AMS-IX's BGP looking glass shows no longer prefix
for 213.30.180.218 than the 213.30.128.0/18 route, and more than enough
paths for that.

So, anyone from Completel subscribed who wants to comment? (Slim chance,
but hey).

Cheers,


Emile.
