That's odd. When I try from one path, I get the same error you get; when I try another, it works. A tcptraceroute shows that both are ending up at the same IP address at Amazon, too. --Steven M. Bellovin, http://www.cs.columbia.edu/~smb

I am currently in the DC area. It appears that Amazon came up about 20 minutes ago. SANS ISC has a little info on the problem. Quoting from http://isc.sans.org/diary.php?n&storyid=1625 :
UPDATE:
Diligent Reader Corwin Grey points out:
"Amazon may be having more than a 'little' trouble. :/ Check out their whois:
Server Name: AMAZON.COM.IS.N0T.AS.1337.AS.WWW.GULLI.COM IP Address: 80.190.192.24 Registrar: KEY-SYSTEMS GMBH Whois Server: whois.rrpproxy.net Referral URL: http://www.key-systems.net
<snip>"
Now, amazon.com looks OK from a whois lookup at www.internic.net (record points to Network Solutions) and from a Network Solutions whois lookup. But, it looks like we've got some whois database hijinks out there for some of the whois servers and the www.amazon.com info.
Reader Sean points out that these gulli folks do this kind of thing a lot to sites like Amazon.com, Microsoft, and others, and these whois hijinks are likely independent of the back-end problems that Amazon.com appears to be having. I agree.
I just now checked, and they seem to be back up... so, intermittent problem fixed? For now... It's not the end of the world.

Surely it doesn't need to be pointed out AGAIN that many major domains spawn lots of these "joke" whois records. This GULLI.COM whois record is unrelated to AMAZON.COM. OMGWTFLOL!!!

Things should be working again. Details and brief intro: The company I work for handles their automated call processing for them, amongst other things. We monitor a portion of their network externally. Amazon, from what I understand, was aware of the issue -- but have not provided any details as to what the problem was. Portions of Amazon-Target (www.target.com) may still be offline. -- | Jeremy Chadwick jdc at parodius.com | | Parodius Networking http://www.parodius.com/ | | UNIX Systems Administrator Mountain View, CA, USA | | Making life hard for others since 1977.
