   Pingable, But No Route To Host

   From: ldo@nz.invalid   
      
   Observed some interesting behaviour with a local online service: the   
   domain name is pingable, but any attempt to actually connect returns “no   
   route to host”.   
      
   Looks like the ping service is being provided by a separate mechanism to   
   the actual host itself. What kind of server infrastructure would tell   
   porkies like that? No doubt this is characteristic of some well-known   
   cloud service ...
