I'm seeing *.register.com down (including ns*) from everywhere. They are apparently under a multi-gbps ddos of "biblical proportions".
As pointed out by Rob Seastrom in private email, RFC2182 addresses things of biblical proportions - such as dispersion of nameservers geographically and topologically. Having 3 secondaries, only one of them on separate /24, and none of them on topologically different network does not qualify. Given that register.com is/was public (I think?) - I wonder what are their sarbox auditors saying about it now ;) Compliance of icann-accredited gtld-registrars with rfc2182 might be a good subject for research (again, thanks to rs for idea).... -alex
