this turns out to be simpler than I thought. Sorry for the false alarm.
Apparently the RSP was hacked and took their one or two DNS servers down
as a consequence. The phone number that was out of service was supposed to
have been cutover to a different phone company (GT -> Telus) but the new
company has been swamped and unable to provide service. We did manage to
get through to the RSP through a toronto number forwarded to a cell
phone... :-)

Still I'd be curious to know if that is the official answer. It makes
sense... I sort of forgot about the compliance arm of OpenSRS.
