Should be fixed now. The tunnelbroker service uses a bunch of retired
7206 routers. One of the routers ate its config. Because of the number
of tunnels it uses compressed configurations, which can get corrupted if a
router runs out of memory (from leaks and memory fragmentation).
Tunnel broker issues should be directed to support@he.net. Though it is a
free service with "beta" level support, we are a 24 x 7 operation so last
night an engineer was busy recovering the specific router from a back up.
Mike.
