Hello,
We've noticed something we've never noticed before that became evident
at 14:00 today... and which could be an isolated glitch at
Verisign/Netsol, or it could be a sign of a larger problem looming.
The domain utclassifieds.com is answered as NXDOMAIN in the
gtld-servers.
[rjoffe@layer9 rjoffe]$ dig @a.gtld-servers.net utclassifieds.com ns
; <<>> DiG 8.3 <<>> @a.gtld-servers.net utclassifieds.com ns
; (1 server found)
;; res options: init recurs defnam dnsrch

However it has a whois record at networksolutions, but it has no
nameservers in the whois record. And the domain is valid and expires in
July 2003.

If anyone else has a similar domain problem, I'd appreciate a note
offline...
Meantime we're trying to get an answer from NSI.
