[outages] Outage ns1-ns5.he.net, clientHold in WHOIS for he.net

[Michael B. Williams]

I’m seeing the same issues.

For those who don’t know the clientHold status code tells a domain's
registry to not activate a domain in the DNS and as a consequence, it will
not resolve. It is an uncommon status that is usually enacted during legal
disputes, non-payment, or when a domain is subject to deletion.
Given the expiry of this domain is 2033 something else is going on… anyone
have a contact at HE who could shead some light on this situation?
