is the worldnic problem, but could be. but it is a problem.
a.gtld-servers.net and b.gtld-servers.net have AAAA records. Some applications and stacks try the v6 address first if it's available and will appear to hang if you don't have v6 connectivity. That may very well be what's happening here. Matt -- Matt Larson <mlarson@verisign.com> VeriSign Naming and Directory Services
