Subject: RIPE.NET Unresolvable
>
>It appears that since around 0900 MET this morning the RIPE NCC is
>unreachable from most places because the RIPE.NET has been effectively
>dropped from the DNS. Unfortunately this is entirely beyond our
>control. We are working to resolve the situation with the InterNIC as
>quickly as we can. In the meantime please be aware that electronic mail
>will be queued and may not reach us as quickly as usual due to this
problem.
>We apologise for any inconvenience this may cause.

>Technical explanation:
>
>The NET TLD servers return NOERROR for any query on RIPE.NET which
>indicates that the zone exists but no information is present. This is
>different from NXDOMAIN which indicates that the domain does not exist.
>The InterNIC whois database record for RIPE.NET is present as usual.
>Our current theory is that something went wrong in the NET zone
>generation process. InterNIC staff is now aware of the problem and
>trying to solve it.
>
>Workarounds:
>
>RIPE.NET primary NS: ns.ripe.net at 193.0.0.193
>For urgent mail: MX host is postman.ripe.net at 193.0.0.199.
>Web site: our WWW server is at 193.0.0.195
