Any clues as to what the problem is at the Library of Congress? Appears to
be DNS. Is it a DDOS?

Oh yes, seems to be fixed. It was a fairly lengthy outage.

Works fine for me on Roadrunner in central NY.

It was out for about 45 mins AFAICT

Both work for me in Boston.

Isn't that a problem that suggests its own solution?

10

Actually, now I go to https://www.nanog.org/list/faq/other

I don't see any such thing, just http://www.outages.org/ where the latest
report is 2013.

Also "See *http://www.isp-lists.com/* <http://www.isp-lists.com/> for many
other topic-specific lists." takes one somewhere else entirely!

I'd be interested to know the answer to this one as well, as I've gone
looking for the outages list in the past and found the same result.

Have isitdownorjustme sites simply superceded the need for such lists?

The outages.org website appears to be stale, but the mailing list is
alive and well. Subscription and archives are at:

lists?

isitdownorjustme-type sites are very limited: one vantage point, and
few (or none) indication of the methodology they use. And there is not
only the Web!

Networks must be tested with more focused tools, from many
places. For exemple RIPE Atlas probes

There are two lists, depending on whether you're reporting an ongoing
outage, or just talking about one:
