At some point about 8 hours ago, the root zone was regenerated and sent out with 
ICANN information rather than the regular OpenNic root servers.  I am still 
looking into *why* this happened, however some initial steps have been taken to 
prevent future occurrences, and I will be updating other scripts with this in mind.

In the meantime, for those running any tier of DNS server, please ensure that 
your root zone has a serial of 2011090401 or higher.

The T2 status page will obviously be showing a lot of errors until the new root 
zone gets propagated to all the servers.  Note that this failure in the root 
zone only affected OpenNic sites - you should have had no problems still 
reaching ICANN domains.
