Same as it's always been Bernie. The Tier 1 registry for +39 should  
beef up its DNS infrastructure, for example by buying DNS service  
from a reliable hosting provider.
It is particularly disappointing that the 9.3.e164.arpa zone seems to  
delegated to just two name servers that live on the same subnet.  
RFC2182 advised against this 11 years ago.
