[AusNOG] Telstra Looking-Glass/Trace

[Nathan Gardiner]

www.telstra.net is an anycast address. If you're seeing the Melbourne
server, you'll continue to see it (ie it's not balanced on a round-robin
basis) and therefore all traces for you will originate from Melbourne
(exhibition st).

Only in a failure situation would you see your traces originating from
Sydney (pitt st).

(Note: This is my understanding. Things may have changed. Certainly in the
past this has been the case)
