Weird SQUITs

[kl@xxxxxxxxxxx (Kaspar Landsberg)]

Hello,

i've seen now the following type of SQUITs for several times:

--- cut here ---
[*] Received SERVER *.fr from GMD.DE (4 [sil.polytechnique.fr] Ecole
Polytechnique, France) @22:23
[*] Received SERVER *.insat.com from *.Enserb.U-Bordeaux.Fr (6 [194.51.149.1]
Societe INSAT S.A.) @22:23
[*] Received SQUIT *.fr from fu-berlin.de (Ping Timeout) @22:24
*** Netsplit at 22:24:33 (fu-berlin.de *.fr)
[...]
[*] Received SERVER *.fr from GMD.DE (4 [irc.enst.fr] ENST (Telecom Paris),
France) @22:40
[*] Received SERVER *.insat.com from *.Enserb.U-Bordeaux.Fr (7 [194.51.149.1]
Societe INSAT S.A.) @22:40
!GMD.DE! Received SQUIT sil.polytechnique.fr from fu-berlin.de ((Unknown from
GMD.DE[irc@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx]))
[*] Received SQUIT GMD.DE from fu-berlin.de (Server Exists) @22:44
--- cut here ---

fu-berlin.de SQUITs *.fr altho it is not linked to it. In fact, *.fr was  
linked to GMD.DE and fu-berlin.de does not even have c/n's for *.fr. For  
my understanding, something's wrong when some server SQUITs another server  
which is not connected to him with "Ping timeout". Or am i wrong?

fu-berlin.de was running 2.9.4, GMD.DE 2.9.5b2

Bye, Kasi
