Is anyone familiar with the following nodes:  192.80.214.1 and 192.80.214.254?
An nslookup PTR query returns a non-existent domain error.  The nodes appear
to be between the College Park Md NSF backbone node and SURANET.

As of 1400 PDT the nodes were involved in a routing loop.  A traceroute from
our site to wraith.wtp.contel.com, issm.iss.contel.com, or sccgate.scc.com
our Rightist brethren would reach College Park and then bounce back and forth
between the two nodes.

Any information would be appreciated.
