I got quite a few responses in a very short period of time.
a) DNS resolve problems - already checked, looks OK
b) traceroutes - Multiple reports of packet loss through UUNET,
but some look fine. Ticket opened with UUNET.
c) overloaded routers - CPU load looks fine. One report of high latency
on one of our cour routers appears to be an
anomaly.
FWIW, mtr output was the most useful for me in this case.
Thanks for the responses.
