AfriNIC NOC,
<br>
<br>
in DNS for whois.afrinic.net IPs 196.192.115.21 and
2001:42d0:2:601::21 are returned. (amongst others)
<br>
<br>
This might be the same host.
<br>
<br>
These IPs are responding to ping, but not to whois.
<br>
<br>
This might have started between 0:20 and 1:20 UTC
<br>
<br>
I believe the <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://status.afrinic.net">https://status.afrinic.net</a> page is wrong to state
that "WHOIS DB Queries" - whois.afrinic.net:43 are working.
<br>
I'd say they're working only 3/4
<br>
<br>
Please check.
<br>
<br>
Thanks,
<br>
Frank
