I have no information about the state of the Internet links in Haiti (everything seems down) but, for the .HT top-level domain, here are a few news. .HT has six name servers, four outside of the country. They were not affected so .HT never had a problem resolving. Main DNS lesson: always put name servers in very diverse places. The master was in Port-au-Prince and is unreachable, probably for a long time. A new (stealth) master has been set up in Australia by Cocca and the slaves are now reconfigured to use it. Two already do it and therefore the zone no longer risks expiration (and can even be modified).
