Alan,

Actually nothing is wrong with RDJ, the problem is a massive DDoS attack
that's been going on for a couple of days now.  The botnet is targeting
Spamhaus, URIBL, SURBL, SpamCop, and Rulesemporium (which is where
RulesDuJour gets its updates).

See http://groups.google.com/group/news.admin.net-abuse.email/msg/28d49877cc8dbc2d
and http://isc.sans.org/diary.html?storyid=2940 for more info.

I'm getting the same type of situation on my RDJ. For now I'm just
waiting until everything gets sorted out.
