Thanks for the info!

I am the sysadmin for Nouvelocity, so this is my issue. Our firewall has 
no such blocks, so tomorrow I will ask out upstream provider if they 
might be.

May I ask; the webserver in question is at 192.139.81.119. I know 
192.168.0.0/16 is reserved, but where does the 99.0.0.0/8 network come 
into play? I may well be guilty of missing the obvious here. :)
