another day, another Afrihost hosting issues

[Ipwn 4]

problem of the day, DNS lookups to domains with Afrihosts DNS cluster listed as the authoritative servers seem to be failing:

C:\Users\Jaco>nslookup afrihost.com
Server:  google-public-dns-a.google.com
Address:  8.8.8.8

DNS request timed out.
    timeout was 2 seconds.
DNS request timed out.
    timeout was 2 seconds.
*** Request to google-public-dns-a.google.com timed-out

Direct queries to AH DNS servers also not working:

C:\Users\Jaco>nslookup 5ad.co.za ns.dns1.co.za
DNS request timed out.
    timeout was 2 seconds.
Server:  UnKnown
Address:  196.35.64.215

DNS request timed out.
    timeout was 2 seconds.
