RADB down?

Wed Mar 5 19:06:33 UTC 2008

Yep, works from my other desk machine...   Same subnet, different IP as
well.

I note it appears to be breaking their web whois queries as well as I
get a "connect failed: Connection timed out" notice on any of the
webform updates.

Simple whois seems to work ok for me from one IP address, but not 
from another on the same subnet...
