I've seen similar outages. I experienced one too yesterday where my own
nohats.ca (but really almost all queries) failed to resolve. I ran a
verbosity 2 while the process was still running and it showed a massive
amount of ipv6 connection attempts (despite not having been on an ipv6
network in weeks)

A similar even seem to have happened on the Sunday of ICANN45 in Toronto,
where some important high up record stopped validating, causing everything
below it to fail.
