The IP of the gameserver vs loginserver (same in this case) isn't relevant, rather what parts of the code are used. Connecting to the loginserver to show the server selection screen shouldn't (I bravely assume!) use the zoning code.
From my understanding, according to the patch notes, it was the zoning code that was updated on p99, so if the problem includes an adverse effect on the loginserver, then it suggests the zoning code changes (that is, the latest p99 patch) aren't to blame.
I could be wrong and more changes were imported from github than just the zoning code, but I'm trusting that the patch notes provided by the devs are accurate in this respect. If indeed code was changed that substantially affects all of the areas that Latex mentioned, then it could be due to the patch and not just network problems.
Contrast this with the report by mdavis522, which could very understandably be a result of the changes to the zoning code.
In the past few days, the connection to this server has gotten progressively worse on my end. I'm having all of the problems you guys are reporting now, and I'm pretty sure it's due to network issues at least for me.
