A new line has been introduced in the 8909 tables, between ICNUCEVM and DEARN. This is actually a virtual SNA route, and I will not comment on its usefulness (or lack thereof). However, the introduction of this new line caused LISTSERV distribute jobs to take completely "absurd" paths, because I had not been warned about this and had therefore not made the appropriate change to the link weights file; LISTSERV, which has no way to know that this is a virtual SNA route, had assumed the default weight of "1" and routed a huge amount of traffic through that line. I am hereby repeating, for the last time, my request to have changes to the international EARN topology announced a reasonable amount of time in advance. I am fed up with having to find out this kind of things after the fact, when I get complaints from understandably unhappy people. This is not very difficult to implement: whenever a NCC makes a change to an international line, he should post a note to some list, which should give us at least 2 weeks of advance notice. If such a simple thing cannot be done, then I cannot spend time troubleshooting such problems either, and the next time it happens I will simply ignore the problem and let EARN files make 2 round trips across Europe before they reach their final destination.
