bleh... is it me, or are the root nameservers hosed again?

e.g....

;; QUESTIONS:
;; 1.1.251.206.in-addr.arpa, type = ANY, class = IN

;; AUTHORITY RECORDS:
IN-ADDR.ARPA. 86400 SOA A.ROOT-SERVERS.NET. hostmaster.INTERNIC.NET. (
1997071600 ; serial
10800 ; refresh (3 hours)
900 ; retry (15 mins)
604800 ; expire (7 days)
86400 ) ; minimum (1 day)

;; Total query time: 90 msec
;; FROM: coredump to SERVER: a.root-servers.net 198.41.0.4

looks like this for [a-d].root.servers.net... e,f,g look ok (as far as
I can tell)...

Maybe the InterNIC didn't pay for the domain in time and thus it was deleted?

Folks should recornize that NANOG is not the right place rfor
reporting problems. If you're going to send mail to NANOG about
a problem like this, please indicate whether or not you've escalated
it to the responsible party.

The InterNIC (and most providers) don't track the NANOG list in real
time, nor is it reasonable to expect them to.

In any case, I just got a phone reply from the Internic to my
inquiry of a few hours past -- they are aware of the problem
and are regenerating zone files. That status is as of 4:00am EDT (0800 UTC),
~1.5 hours ago [though I only heard it now].

Note that EDU. and GOV. are not affected.
