If you query direct to Microsoft's DNS servers, they return MX records happily, but they time out rather then return an A record.
This seems more obviously like a software problem, rather then DDoS, or ICANN, who apparently controls Microsoft's DNS servers (laugh out loud)
"We don't manage the DNS ourselves, it is a system controlled by the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) with worldwide replicas."
Microsoft's ITG is investigating this issue. I haven't been clued in as of yet as to what is the main issue. I apolozise for not being able to disclose more information. -- Dave McKay dave@sneakerz.org Microsoft Global Network Architect
