anybody have contacts at twelve99.net that might be able to track down what appears to be a routing loop or otherwise ?

A traceroute from my local machine/ISP to a remote machine seems to get caught in their address-space bouncing between various machines until traceroute hits TTL limits and gives up.

If I try to connect to the same remote host/IP from several other points around the web (whether pinging, directly connecting with telnet/nc, or using the VPS as a tunnel), it works fine, so I know the remote server is up and running and responding appropriately.
