Thanks for the input AJY. I see now looking back that my quoting was all
stuffed up making my email almost unreadable! It was good of you
to preserver with it.

I had thought the issue might be to do with BGP advertisements of the local
routes from the 2talk end not reaching VF's RIB for some reason, but I
guess a problem at either end could cause that.

Is anyone else with an endpoint on VF IP space able to check for me to see
if their routing to sip.2talk.co.nz is going via GG too? If it's widespread
then I'll take the time to put the end-user's hat on and call VF... (unless
anyone VF is on-list and could investigate?).
