[outages] .us TLD issues?

[Joe Abley]

Hi Mike,

That dig really just demonstrates that you have a local cached answer.
If you want to check whether the authority servers are reachable from
5645, you need to send explicit queries to each one (and avoid +short,
since you want to check the RCODE).

Aue Te Ariki! He toki ki roto taku mahuna!
