ARIN overloaded...

["Matt Levine" <matt () deliver3 com>]

Anyone know what's up with ARIN?  Are they getting flooded?

Been getting this on whois queries for last hour or so:

*
* WELCOME to ARIN Registration Services 
*
* Sorry, the system load is temporarily too heavy.
*
* Please wait a while and try again.  Thanks
*

and/or socket times out.


Regards,
Matt
