   I haven't changed the zone file. It currently reads:

; Dima Rubin <dima@freebsd.org>
sup5            IN      CNAME   burka.rdy.com.

[wcarchive:davidg] nslookup sup5.freebsd.org who.cdrom.com
Server:  who.cdrom.com
Address:  204.216.27.3

Name:    burka.rdy.com
Address:  205.149.163.30
Aliases:  sup5.freebsd.org


   ...so I would guess that 'who' was simply having trouble connecting to the
root nameservers or something. The problem was transient in any case and is
working fine right now.
