maybe they had some whacky attack like Akamai got? I'll have to troll the nanog archives for the info on finding which/where/what .org TLD box you are querying when there are problems. Rodney had noted that such info is helpful for them to figure out what parts of their pods are having problems.
dig @tld1.ultradns.net. whoareyou.ultradns.net.
Will tell you the IP you're talking to.
dig @tld1.ultradns.net. whoami.ultradns.net.
Will tell you who it thinks you are.
that's the stuff I was searching for :)
Unfortunately, neither of those is very helpful if the query is timing out. I think Rodney has mentioned that traceroutes are helpful in that case, though.
Yea, I suppose I was striving for the: "Don't tell me the internet is busted, tell me how you think it's busted" Thanks!
