All the other servers have 98104001. This is a problem because (one of)
the changes made between those two revisions are to change rs.internic.net
from having:
rs.internic.net. 900 A 198.41.0.12
rs.internic.net. 900 A 198.41.0.13
rs.internic.net. 900 A 198.41.0.6
rs.internic.net. 900 A 198.41.0.7
rs.internic.net. 900 A 198.41.0.8
rs.internic.net. 900 A 198.41.0.9
to:
rs.internic.net. 900 A 198.41.0.6
Currently, rs.internic.net doesn't resolve to a functioning host when a
resolver asks noc.cerf.net for an answer, unless it happens to pick .6 out
of the list. It has been this way for at least a few hours and since the
refresh is 1h... people will see intermittent problems reaching
rs.internic.net
Of course, right now whois seems hosed anyway, but...:
$ whois internic.net
