Both Iraqi state provider Uruklink.net name servers offline

[Sean Donelan <sean () donelan com>]

Despite very old recommendations, the Iraqi state provider Uruklink.net
kept all of its name servers on the same subnet.  Although this is
recognized as a poor design, many domain name server operators worldwide
do the same thing.

nic1.baghdadlink.net.   2D IN A         62.145.94.1
nic2.baghdadlink.net.   2D IN A         62.145.94.2

The nic2 (62.145.94.2) has been offline for over a week.  Yesterday the
remaining name server nic1 (62.145.94.1) was running an old version of
bind (8.1.2).  It was returning obviously bogus answers to queries.

In the last 24 hours, the name server application on nic1 (62.145.94.1)
went offline.  The server is online (responds to pings), but neither
tcp or udp port 53 responds.  The name server application may have
crashed, been trashed, or shutdown by the system administrator.
