[lug] Connection problems from Europe

More information from Carl's traceroute suggestion...

Looking at the hostnames of the servers traceroute uses, I can make a 
guess where they are, based on the hostnames:

(This is for the failed route)

And the one that works, after crossing the Atlantic, looks like:

13  nycmny2wcx2-pos15-3.wcg.net NEW YORK CITY, NY
14  nycmny2wcx3-oc48.wcg.net NEW YORK CITY, NY
15  brvwil1wcx3-pos11-0.wcg.net BRVW(?), IL

21  s0-0-0-boulder-core.rockynet.com BOULDER, CO
22  sta-204-188-101-2.rockynet.com BOULDER, CO
(connects)

So this looks like maybe the problem is the router in Chicago not 
knowing where to send the traffic.  Is there any way I can verify that?

TIA,
