 FTP.RS.INTERNIC.NET is indeed resolvable:
 
 Non-authoritative answer:
 Name:    RS.INTERNIC.NET
 Address:  198.41.0.6
 Aliases:  FTP.RS.INTERNIC.NET

 As stated in named.root:
 
 ;       This file holds the information on root name servers needed to
 ;       initialize cache of Internet domain name servers
 
 and would not be in FreeBSD's best interest to change any of the
 information therein.  Perhaps you should let InterNIC know of your 
 problems with their host/domain names.
