[outages] AoL / XO services issues?

[Chris Boyd]

We're seeing an few tickets and calls for issues with AoL based services.

Specifically, AIM logins are timing out when trying to get to slogin.oscar.aol.com or login.oscar.aol.com.  We see these resolving to 205.188.251.44 and 205.188.251.43 respectively, and traceroutes die somewhere in XO Dallas (207.88.12.146).

Also, www.engadget.com times out, again with the traceroutes dying in XO Dallas.

We're seeing this across multiple providers in Central Texas since yesterday afternoon.
