Correct - those nameservers are offline.   That should be considered a 
catastrophic failure for any service provider, so be sure and your host 
know.

We show excellent connectivity from our core as well as secondary 
networks.   A quick check of Internet pulse shows sub-60ms latency 
between most Tier1 providers.

I would be more inclined to point towards localized issues.

If anybody is having issues with the lists, please feel free to contact 
myself or Barry offlist.   We're always happy to assist wherever possible.
