Thanks. Didn't have any *NIX boxes laying around to 'dig' any deeper. When I checked networksolutions' whois for neosystems.us and state.ny.us , both returned: " We are unable to process your request at this time. Please try again later." Figured something was up. But when I tried nslookup with a server on yet a 4th ISP just now, it worked ok. Thanks again.

Anyone else having issues with .US right now (~12AM EST)? NSlookup,
