Is anyone else out there having trouble doing a whois to
rs.internic.net? I've tried from 3 diff networks and can't get an
answer. This has been going on for at least 2 hours. Most frustrating.

Having the same problems myself. Traceroute to rs.internic.net works
fine, but I get nothing back from it at all.

I finally got a response! Try again now, and give it a few minutes.

It looks like the Internic was having trouble with its upstreams. I was
having apparent trouble with MCI and UUNET earlier this morning, but didn't
have a lot of time at the time to troubleshoot where exactly the problem was.
