Today is a gloomy day for "CC." domain holders.
My sympathies lie with anyone using a CC. toplevel domain
today (Sunday, March 14, 1999).
The dns servers (two of them) for the toplevel domain "CC."
are unreachable. Since both of their listed nameservers are
on the SAME PIPE (*a real NO-NO as far as I know) the entire
TLD is DEAD!
I tested this from several routes, from NY, San Jose, and
Amsterdam...all routes lead to nowhere.
How can a TLD for an entire "country" (put aside the fact
that the Cocos (Keeling) Islands has no human inhabitants)
reside on a network that doesn't even have the minimun
nameserver requirements (two servers on physically separate
routes)?
This raises some very valid questions on how this TLD
was approved in the first place!
