Anyone else noticing that the .pro TLD is failing for some things, and their WHOIS registry appears to be unavailable? I appear to be able to resolve, but whois times out, and we're getting reports that mail isn't going through for some folks with this TLD.

The delegation from the root to PRO, and the PRO name servers themselves, seem to be working.

The address records for whois.dotproregistry.net are missing. Doug

Well, it depends how you find the .pro whois servers, and I am pleased that my recent changes to FreeBSD whois handle this case OK. If you use pro.whois-servers.net aka whois.registrypro.pro the connection times out. (It is sad that the often excellent whois-servers.net doesn't work as well as it used to.) If you use whois.nic.pro then it works. (This is the standard name required for new gTLDs.) If you follow the referral from whois.iana.org to whois.afilias.net then it works. More on whois at http://fanf.livejournal.com/140505.html Tony. -- f.anthony.n.finch <dot@dotat.at> http://dotat.at/ East Dogger, Fisher, German Bight: Southeasterly 4 or 5. Slight or moderate. Fog patches for a time. Moderate or good, occasionally very poor.
