Thanks for alerting us about this. 

We’ve isolated and removed from DNS the unresponsive backend servers so as to further investigate the issue. 

Regards,
David

Dear group,

I'm seeing high error-rates for RDAP queries. Upon inspection, it turns
out some of the backend servers resolved via 'rdap.afrinic.net' are not
reachable:

        196.192.115.23 (port 443 unreachable)
        2001:42d0:2:601:0:0:0:23 (port 443 unreachable)
        196.192.124.137 (certificate expired)

See <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://www.ssllabs.com/ssltest/analyze.html?d=rdap.afrinic.net">https://www.ssllabs.com/ssltest/analyze.html?d=rdap.afrinic.net</a>
to test & for more information.

I'd recommend to either remove the problematic IPs from the round-robin
DNS, or resolve the underlaying issue. Thank you

Kind regards,

Job
