(cc to nanog in case anyone is wondering why they are having sporadic
problems reaching rs.internic.net...)

All the other servers have 98104001.  This is a problem because (one of)
the changes made between those two revisions are to change rs.internic.net
from having:

rs.internic.net.        900     A       198.41.0.12
rs.internic.net.        900     A       198.41.0.13
rs.internic.net.        900     A       198.41.0.6
rs.internic.net.        900     A       198.41.0.7
rs.internic.net.        900     A       198.41.0.8
rs.internic.net.        900     A       198.41.0.9

to:

rs.internic.net.        900     A       198.41.0.6

Currently, rs.internic.net doesn't resolve to a functioning host when a
resolver asks noc.cerf.net for an answer, unless it happens to pick .6 out
of the list.  It has been this way for at least a few hours and since the
refresh is 1h... people will see intermittent problems reaching
rs.internic.net

Of course, right now whois seems hosed anyway, but...:

$ whois internic.net
