[arin-discuss] Flaky whois

[Nate Davis]

This does not appear to be a system-wide issue but rather a localize problem in which Randy continues
to work with the ARIN team to specifically identify and correct.

Thanks Randy for working with us on this issue.

Martin, thanks for testing as well.

Nate

What I'm seeing is that most of the time I try a query (which is usually once or twice a day), it hangs for long enough for me to give up via the web site, and try via command line, which also hangs while waiting for a response from whois.arin.net.

I tried it just now, and the query got me to the redirect to whois.arin.net, and it hung there for about 2 minutes before finally loading. Command-line appeared to work well enough.
