   There are LOTS of problems with .MIL addresses from our perspective too.
Much of it seems to be related to the mailbridges.  Recently they had to
remove a lot of "foreign" networks from their tables because they had gotten
too big.  There are also occassional nameserver problems.

    That is really a problem.  Since we are on NSFNET we refer the tough
cases to [log in to unmask]  But I am not sure that is really their
responsibility.  I sure wish the MIL users had a reachable responsive
help desk (like merit.edu).  However, from the contacts I've had the
mail users care about e-mail and some administrators do not.
