That whois stuff is meaningless. When are people going to get it that it really isn't a "hack".

I am currently in the DC area. It appears that Amazon came up about 20 minutes ago.
UPDATE:
Diligent Reader Corwin Grey points out:
"Amazon may be having more than a 'little' trouble. :/ Check out their whois:
Server Name: AMAZON.COM.IS.N0T.AS.1337.AS.WWW.GULLI.COM IP Address: 80.190.192.24 Registrar: KEY-SYSTEMS GMBH Whois Server: whois.rrpproxy.net Referral URL: http://www.key-systems.net
<snip>"
Now, amazon.com looks OK from a whois lookup at www.internic.net (record points to Network Solutions) and from a Network Solutions whois lookup. But, it looks like we've got some whois database hijinks out there for some of
SANS ISC has a little info on the problem. Quoting from http://isc.sans.org/diary.php?n&storyid=1625 : the whois servers and the www.amazon.com info.
Reader Sean points out that these gulli folks do this kind
of thing a lot to sites like Amazon.com, Microsoft, and others, and these whois hijinks are likely independent of the back-end problems that Amazon.com appears to be having. I agree.
I just now checked, and they seem to be back up... so,
intermittent problem fixed? For now... It's not the end of the world.

Intermittent application/load balancer issues perhaps?

When I try from one path, I get the same error you get; when I try another, it works. A tcptraceroute shows that both are ending up at the same IP address at Amazon, too.
