On one of my netblocks my subscribers can nolonger ping Belkin. I can ping heartbeat.belkin.com from my webservers and from subscriber units on a different netblock. Apparently Belkin routers ping the home base every couple seconds to determine the correct color of the Internet light on the router (orange or blue *sigh*). Worse, when it can't ping the Belkin site the router seems to pack up and redirect my subscribers to their router configuration page. I found this pretty easy to work around. I simply DNATed the pings intended for heartbeat.belkin.com to one of my local nameservers and that seems to get them back online. It's a silly workaround, but if anyone else is seeing all the Belkin routers on their network pack up, this could be why. -Paul
