UNITED.COM (United Airlines) has been down for days! Any info on this?
The United Airlines website appears to be down and has been down for days. Is this a network issue or are they out of business??
Works fine for me. *shrug* www.ual.com also forwards appropriately.

Their problems go far, far beyond just DNS. They have had consistent problems for well over a year. Basic stuff--- like booking a ticket. It's no wonder they can't get out of bankruptcy.
Nice try, but the location that I was trying from did not use "alternative root servers". FYI: They are "Inclusive Namespace Servers". ----- Original Message ----- From: "John Levine" <johnl@iecc.com> To: <nanog@nanog.org> Sent: Saturday, September 03, 2005 1:49 PM Subject: Re: UNITED.COM (United Airlines) has been down for days!
