    <div class="moz-cite-prefix">A quick update on this: I emailed
      BGPmon and got a bounce message saying that our domain does not
      exist.  Our DNS servers are hosted on addresses within our AS, so
      that makes perfect sense if there's a reachability issue.<br>
      <br>
      I've double-checked that the correct routes are advertised to all
      our peers and confirmed this on several route-views servers.  (See
      the pastebin below.)<br>
      <br>
      Any suggestions on how to troubleshoot this further?<br>
      <br>
      Thanks in advance,<br>

          <p class="MsoNormal">Hi Ross/Nathan,<br>
            <br>
            These aren't new prefixes advertised from an AS, they're
            existing prefixes being withdrawn and then returning later. 
            I get an alert email each time a prefix disappears, but no
            end of alert email when it comes back.<br>
            <br>
            I also get alerts quite a lot about other parts of the world
            (esp. Brazil, North America, and Northern Europe) not being
            able to see our prefixes, even though they're advertised to
            our providers and visible domestically.  e.g. Here's our AS
            viewed from 3 route-views servers as of yesterday:</p>
          <ul type="disc">
            <li class="MsoNormal">
              <a moz-do-not-send="true"
                href="http://paste.debian.net/hidden/524ca085/">http://paste.debian.net/hidden/524ca085/</a></li>
          </ul>

              href="http://bgp.he.net/AS132897">http://bgp.he.net/AS132897</a>
            shows it fine as well.  Yet, there are presently 3 active
            alerts for prefix 103.27.153.0/24 in my BGPmon account, one
            going back to 20 December.<br>
            <br>
            I probably should contact BGPmon about these rather than
            whining to you guys about it. <span class="moz-smiley-s3">
