It looks as though it was a DNS+routing problem - I could access the IPs for fep8.2talk.co.nz, but couldn't ping the IPs for their nameservers (27.111.14.81 27.111.14.31), from a couple of different NZ networks. International was fine.
It appears to be related to the Auckland Peering Exchange (APE) - we have seen both route servers drop in the past hour and we have seen Layer-2 issues with traffic to many APE connected ISP's. We have logged a case with Citylink and have shutdown our APE peering in the mean time to avoid further interruptions in service.
Apologies for the interruptions in service. Engineers are working with Citylink to resolve the issue.
