	Those prefixes had been withdrawn now – traffic is flowing
correctly again for us. If that was the cause, I suspect things are
back to rights for everyone now?

	One wonders why HE doesn’t apply filters on a peer with 20 legit
prefixes…

	Tue Apr 24 11:05:41 UTC onwards one of Hurricane Electric's peers
AS10297 started advertising the following subnets via HE.  
	205.251.192.0  

	205.251.193.0  

	205.251.195.0  

	205.251.197.0  

	205.251.199.0  
	These are all Amazon subnets, usually originated as part of /23s and
seemingly host a fair bit of AWS Route53.  
	If you (or your DNS resolver) are a HE transit customer you will be
impacted the most.  
	Cheers,

	 This doesn’t feel right, though I’ll admit I’ve never checked
before. Our only route to ns-163.awsdns-20.com (205.251.192.163) is
through HE:

	 inet.0: 757581 destinations, 2107440 routes (757301 active, 0
holddown, 522 hidden)

	 + = Active Route, - = Last Active, * = Both

	 205.251.192.0/24   *[BGP/170] 01:12:08, localpref 70

	                       AS path: 6939 10297 I, validation-state:
unverified

	                     > to 216.66.90.21 via ge-1/0/5.0

	 AS10297 is eNET inc. Is this expected?

	 Looks more specific to AWS than it does to Google+AWS. Can’t
resolve against some of AWS’s NS directly:

	 phil at phil-debian:~$ dig cloudcall.com IN A @ns-163.awsdns-20.com

	 ;  DiG 9.10.3-P4-Debian  cloudcall.com IN A @ns-163.awsdns-20.com

	 ;; global options: +cmd

	 ;; connection timed out; no servers could be reached   From: Outages

Anyone else seeing SERVFAIL for route53-hosted domains trying to
resolve with Google DNS?
