Doesn't Comcast have its own?

Wouldn't they only be referring to the Yahoo ones when their last resolution of Yahoo domains had expired?]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,10540281 Thu, 17 Jun 2004 22:18:26 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,10537692 fractalspher : This particular attack actually effected me!

Our public DNS server is (we now know) part of the Yahoo DNS servers. So at 7:am that morning I got a bunch of DNS alerts on my cellphone and in emails for servers on the west coast. I thought there had been an earthquake in San Francisco! :p

Ultimately it didn't kill our service, but did manage to give us about 100 DNS timeout errors all morning. :mad:

As for the actual attack, they seemed to get it shut down fairly quickly... Less than a few hours.

Also, this was the day my yahoo email account was getting upgraded and I couldn't get email all morning either! :huh:
