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...
