% > So did Internic's whois server break? Or did their registery get corrupt? % % Looks like the registry is corrupt; My contact information is corrupt % now as well, as is my girlfriend's; we've both gotten assigned to % Lobo Net, rather than our proper locations. I looked up JM2789, but % it's garbled in a different manner. I wonder if everyone associated % with a particular domain is garbled in the same way? % % Anyhow, this really bites. If the InterNIC wants to charge for % services, they really MUST take better care of the data. I seem to remember a little while back something that happened -- the InterNIC had a data corruption "along the wire" (their terms, not mine). They claimed that the registry data itself had not been corrupted. The symptoms: Totally bogus information in WHOIS requests for the particular day, fixed by around 6pm or so CDT, as I recall. I wonder if the problems that certain entities have been experiencing relate to this "along the wire" data corruption the NIC mentioned didn't cause any problems? /tcb -- Timothy Brown, Web Architect/Network Engineer, ANET-STL Affiliation given for identification, not representation. http://www.anet-stl.com/~tbrown/ - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
