I hate co-incidences.
At the same time as this story appeared today
http://www.news.com/News/Item/0,4,30366,00.html?st.ne.140.head
whois queries started returning:
*
* WELCOME to InterNIC Registration Services
*
* Sorry, the system load is temporarily too heavy.
*
* Please wait a while and try again. Thanks
*
It's currently 12:34am EST. and the response is still mostly the same.
A query still needs 5-10 attempts before a server responds.
Dig used to (a couple of weeks ago) show a bunch of servers. Now there
is only 1: 198.41.0.6
Is anyone else having this problem?
Does anyone else have a solution?
We're trying to track down the source of a dos attack, and this kind of
screwing around to find contact data isn't helpful...
