The summary largely misses the point.  Your DNS provider had a major
outage (plausibly a DDoS, though they haven't said so outright).  DNS
queries from many sources were consequently dropped.  DNS resolution of
your domain was consequently significantly degraded.  That's all.

I assessed it by making DNS queries from multiple (over 100) locations,
almost all of which were previously failing, but a majority are now
working.  The problem does not appear to be entirely resolved, some
locations are still unable to reach netregistry.net nameservers.

Speculatively, perhaps this is related to the upcoming open availability
of 2LD .au domains, in which case it could be a rather brazen
anti-competitive action.
