So, BlueSecurity gets DDoS'd which causes a DOS on the mdnsservice.com nameservers (likely for all the A lookups) and also a DOS on all other Tucows servers on that network? Or, did BlueSecurity point their A record to one of Tucows' sites like they did with LJ/SA? -- Chris Scott Adaptive Hosting Solutions, Inc. | Blogzerk - blog hosting http://www.adaptivehostingsolutions.com/ | http://www.blogzerk.com/ _______________________________________________ domains-gen mailing list [email protected] http://discuss.tucows.com/mailman/listinfo/domains-gen
