ARIN down?

Sat Mar 26 04:43:02 UTC 2016

I haven’t been able to connect to http://arin.net for several hours, but was able to open a ticket this morning. I’ve tried from several different networks, all roads seem to lead to the same place, with packets dropping at the NTT interface 129.250.196.154. e.g.:

I recall ARIN had a DDoS attack a week or so ago. Does anybody know if this is a recurrence?
