Good question. I've been seeing similar results command line, and additionally I've noted some problems with the web-based whois as well. /Alex Kiwerski -----Original Message----- From: owner-nanog@merit.edu [mailto:owner-nanog@merit.edu]On Behalf Of Jon R. Kibler Sent: Friday, February 20, 2004 10:41 AM To: nanog@merit.edu Subject: whois.internic.net problems? Anyone know what is up with whois.internic.net? It seems to be having serious problems. When using a command line whois, it either hangs "forever" or gets a connection refused. About 1 time in 5 can I get a query to work. I have tried it from both our local systems and a hosted server we use and get the same results. When trying to report bogus registration data using http://reports.internic.net/cgi/rpt_whois/rpt.cgi, I get "Unable to connect to registry whois, please try later" most of the time. Anyone have any idea what gives? Are they getting DDOSed or something? Thanks! Jon K. -- Jon R. Kibler Chief Technical Officer A.S.E.T., Inc.
