No idea what happened, and I don't read spanish,
but the network configuration infers the registry(auth)
and the registrar(nic) are one in the same. No surprise in
the ccTLD. They are responsible for the uptime.

There is a comment period taking place related
to the ICANN IANA root zone checks. This made me think of it.

According to red.es, they believe that a possible
hardware failure caused a file to be corrupted
during the update. When this was discovered, they
shifted to a backup file.
