We had temporarily switched over to the new EGP gateway and noticed that
the gateways couldn't make up their mind as to who was handling a
particular network.  For example, all ARPANET traffic would oscillate
between MCLEAN-MB.DDN.MIL and CAMBRIDGE-MB.DDN.MIL with the gateways
redirecting to each other.  This doesn't seem very productive.  We have
since then switched back to the older gateways which seem to work ok.
Hopefully, this will be fixed before the mandatory switchover later on
this month.
