Looks like they're still denying the DDOS possibility but are doing so with less enthusiasm. Packet loss appears to be constrained to the last hop, so it's feasible that this is the result of a targetted attack.
Imagine what happens when all cached RRs expire worldwide. With people hammering for microsoft.com DNS resolution. This can easily translate to a "DDoS" to the four listed nameservers :-> A kinda self-brewn DDoS, because they don't manage to get backup DNS servers up before all the cached RRs expire. :-] Someone please send them a copy of DNS&Bind?
