(PM) Hosed Host Routes

I have a PM2E-20 with a 5BRI module, 16Mb RAM running ComOS 3.7.2.
I've been noticing that I have trouble pinging certain (random) users on
this box. For example :

PM3> ping user142.empirenet.com
No answer from user142.empirenet.com (205.164.88.242)

but then I do the following to the same user (within 15 secs) :

ping user142
user142 (205.164.88.242) is alive

I also try to trace to these users from our network and it gets as far
as the PM and dies. The users are connected and I don't see an increase
in port errors. I assumed the problem was probably a client modem issue
but it appears that too many of these are showing up on this particular
box. Anybody have some ideas on what might be going on.
