nsi problems?

Can anyone do a whois against whois.crsnic.net? I can't seem to get
to it. Also, I've been seeing lots of timeouts and unreachble
*.gtld-servers.net, they keep blinking on an off, this has been going
on for at least a few hours now.

It looks like UUnet is having a problem right getting through. I can get
through on twtelecom without a problem, but all UUNet conns. Seem to be
hosed at this moment.

Thanks, it looks like it cleared up right after I posted ;-). Perhaps it
was just uunet, but I saw the problem from multiple networks, i.e.:
