<BR>
There is a nightly cron job on ftp.internic.net that mirrors ftp.rs.internic.net.<BR>
<BR>
Said cron job was failing, likely due to the maximum number of connections limit being reached on ftp.rs.internic.net.<BR>
<BR>
Folks at VeriSign said they would be temporarily raising said limit.<BR>
<BR>
You will note that the the hints file on ftp.internic.net is now correct.<BR>
<BR>
Sorry for any confusion this might have caused.<BR>
<BR>
Regards,<BR>

Nothing to do with the protocol but with the organization which<BR>
