PIR.org have risen to their level of incompetence. It is a laughing
stock with companies such as cisco, etc. From what I hear, no one
really has a relationship with them, just court appearances.

This is at least the 2nd time this has happened (last time I have
recorded is 10/16/2003).
The outages on both occasions have been side-effects of the fancy
anycast announcements that UltraDNS use for .org. They only
include 2 hostnames in the NS records for .org:
;; ANSWER SECTION:
org. 86400 IN NS TLD1.ULTRADNS.NET.
org. 86400 IN NS TLD2.ULTRADNS.NET.
;; ADDITIONAL SECTION:
TLD1.ULTRADNS.NET. 166716 IN A 204.74.112.1
TLD2.ULTRADNS.NET. 74600 IN A 204.74.113.1
Is there someone within Tucows/OpenSRS that has a relationship with PIR
and could help bring this to their attention? .org shouldn't be less
reliable than .com/.net, but since PIR.org took it over it has been MUCH
less reliable.
Thanks!
