whois.internic.net problems?

  • From: Jon R. Kibler

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.
