Yeah, I had this same problem a few months back where someone from .nz finally responded to this list saying "there is no problem" where many people were getting the same issue as me... Once again the outage was only 20mins or so, see http://list.waikato.ac.nz/pipermail/nznog/2007-November/013617.html Thanks BarrySomeone with quick fingers (and I think you know who you are) must have done something.. because it is now working.. Took a long time to work though! Must have been about 15 minutes.. On Tue, 2008-02-05 at 15:24 +1300, Mark Foster wrote:I assume we're talking about .nz based on the reference to the DNC...

I have tried on 5 different hosts, on 5 different networks, and all getting the same response. I have even gone to the dnc.org.nz page and nothing of note there. It's been like this for what seems like 10 - 15 minutes, but might be longer. Any clues?I get the same thing.. I seem to get a 440 Request Denied each andeverytime I try to whois a domain name. _______________________________________________ NZNOG mailing list NZNOG@list.waikato.ac.nz http://list.waikato.ac.nz/mailman/listinfo/nznog_______________________________________________ NZNOG mailing list NZNOG@list.waikato.ac.nz http://list.waikato.ac.nz/mailman/listinfo/nznog_______________________________________________ NZNOG mailing list NZNOG@list.waikato.ac.nz http://list.waikato.ac.nz/mailman/listinfo/nznog
