Yes, xml2rfc.tools.ietf.org appears to be down (reachable, but connection refused; with the occasional host unreachable thrown in).
Try

	KRAMDOWN_OFFLINE=1 kdrfc …

(or     KRAMDOWN_OFFLINE=1 kramdown-rfc2629…)

for a gross workaround (may be symptomless if your cache is primed).

One would hope so.
(And I need to put in a workaround in kramdown-rfc, too.)

I send my trouble reports to webmaster@tools.ietf.org and usually get quick resolution.
