That was a protest staged a few days ago by AlterNIC. It only effected
people going to InterNIC's web site.
The problem seen this morning (US wise), was different:
(cut and paste from http://www.netstat/net/news.html)
Subject: NSI bulletin 097-004 | Root Server Problems
On Wednesday night, July 16, during the computer-generation of the
Internet top-level domain zone files, an Ingres database failure resulted
in corrupt .COM and .NET zone files. Despite alarms raised by Network
Solutions' quality assurance schemes, at approximately 2:30 a.m. (Eastern
Time), a system administrator released the zone file without regenerating
the file and verifying its integrity. Network Solutions corrected the
problem and reissued the zone file by 6:30 a.m. (Eastern Time).
Thank you.
