[registrars] Trouble Connecting to Afilias EPP?

[Patricio Valdes <valdes@parava.net>]

Are any of the Registrars experiencing problems connecting to the Live 
EPP? We were able to connect last night and again this morning but we 
have been unable to reconnect for approximately 5 hours. We have 
contacted Afilias several times through email and telephone calls and 
have not received an affirmative answer.

We can connect to the Test EPP without any problems, but not the live 
EPP. I'm afraid that Afilias might be experiencing the same problem 
Verisign had with the Dropped names before going into the separate pools 
format. Can Afilias handle all the Registrars connected at the same time?

At this point, all we want to know is if  any other Registrars are 
having the same problem.
