That's obviously out of the scope of checks we can make and has 0 to do with the checks I proposed or the issue I described, it's at a totally different layer.

Can we temporarily remove from the RR the IP I mentioned?
It *is* being problematic and someone, somewhere will be "randomly" affected.

Great, will take a good look at it over next week, hopefully for Wednesday.
