Where is the traceroute failing? Name resolution for
api-verify.recaptcha.net works correctly off MSU's dns servers and a
traceroute from where I am sitting completes without issue. Are you
running any kind firewall or IDP equipment on your network assuming the
name resolves and the first hop fails?

Is anyone out there using reCAPTCHA to validate web forms? We are
testing it and seeing 20 to 45 second delays to validate the input from
their servers. We don't see this slow response from other sites on the
Internet that use reCAPTCHA. Traceroute from our app server to their
servers (api-verify.recaptcha.net) does not succeed. The support people
at reCAPTCHA have no problem tracerouting to us.
We are using reCAPTCHA on PHP pages. Any suggestions are welcome.
Thanks, Gene
