Anyone know what is up with whois.internic.net? It seems to be having serious problems.
When using a command line whois, it either hangs "forever" or gets a connection refused.
About 1 time in 5 can I get a query to work. I have tried it from both our local systems
and a hosted server we use and get the same results. When trying to report bogus
registration data using http://reports.internic.net/cgi/rpt_whois/rpt.cgi, I get
"Unable to connect to registry whois, please try later" most of the time.
Anyone have any idea what gives? Are they getting DDOSed or something?
Thanks!
Jon K.
