Some companies have already suffered from this because they completely
outsourced their authoritative DNS service to dedicated DNS service
providers.  Only very few customers of those providers were attacked,
but the impact was felt across larger parts of their customer base.
Been there, done that.  I used to work for Ultra.  'Nuff said ;)
