Well, whether Microsoft gets their DNS records fixed or not in the root zones (assuming that's even the problem), they STILL won't get much traffic from some avenues. Packet loss rates to many destinations off ATT's network range from 50% to 100% Looking at traces to Microsoft's DNS servers (which are all hosted on the same ISP backbone, bad idea) shows 50% packet loss right now from ATT Broadband. It's possible the servers will actually answer DNS queries, but the protocols don't survive all that well in the face of 50% or greater packet loss. Looks like several problems in the wild today... -- ----------------------------------------------------------------- Daniel Senie dts@senie.com Amaranth Networks Inc. http://www.amaranth.com
