Unless you know for sure that nothing has changed on the path between
your server and all the directory servers you don't know if path MTU
discovery being broken (if it really is) is a new problem or not.

Thanks.  Path MTU discovery isn't a problem between me & your server -
1500 bytes gets there and back no problem:
C:\>ping -f -l 1472 89.248.169.109

What all do the directory servers need to do/see before marking your
server as a good exit?  It'd be nice to know what they can't do that's
keeping your server from being marked as a good exit..
