Dear Phil,

I really don't know.
The reason was not recorded but just the date.
I guess your server or the peering itself was inoperable for months.

I see. Kristian's spider discovers the graph from node to node.
Probably it encountered name sks.spodhuis.org first.
This is why it does not like name sks-peer.spodhuis.org.

Maybe this phenomenon fobbed me in 2011 too. :-)
