I am currently in the DC area. It appears that Amazon came up about 20 minutes
ago.
SANS ISC has a little info on the problem. Quoting from
http://isc.sans.org/diary.php?n&storyid=1625 :
UPDATE:
Diligent Reader Corwin Grey points out:
"Amazon may be having more than a 'little' trouble. :/ Check out their whois:
Server Name: AMAZON.COM.IS.N0T.AS.1337.AS.WWW.GULLI.COM
IP Address: 80.190.192.24
Registrar: KEY-SYSTEMS GMBH
Whois Server: whois.rrpproxy.net
Referral URL: http://www.key-systems.net
<snip>"
Now, amazon.com looks OK from a whois lookup at www.internic.net (record points
to Network Solutions) and from a Network Solutions whois lookup. But, it looks
like we've got some whois database hijinks out there for some of the whois
servers and the www.amazon.com info.
Reader Sean points out that these gulli folks do this kind of thing a lot to
sites like Amazon.com, Microsoft, and others, and these whois hijinks are
likely independent of the back-end problems that Amazon.com appears to be
having. I agree.
I just now checked, and they seem to be back up... so, intermittent problem
fixed? For now... It's not the end of the world.

Intermittent application/load balancer issues perhaps?

That's odd. When I try from one path, I get the same error you get;
when
I try another, it works. A tcptraceroute shows that both are ending
up at
the same IP address at Amazon, too.
