Hi Clark It's down when looked upon from our DNS recursors in India as well. I have seen in past with many domains (not TLDs though) that when they are down due to non-reachability of authoritative servers for the zone, OpenDNS and Google DNS still give answers. Likely they have some in-built resistivity to these issues by serving the stale data when auth is unreachable. On Tue, May 20, 2014 at 9:44 AM, Clark Shishido <shishido@gmail.com> wrote:
OpenDNS still has A records for nipr.mil authoritative nameservers.

At time of post.. .mil. is down. Apparently an Anonymous "Operation Payback".
.mil nameservers are unresponsive.
