[ga] DNS attack this morning

[Stephane Bortzmeyer <bortzmeyer@xxxxxx>]

Today, between 10:00 UTC and 12:00 UTC, the root name servers (several
of them) and the UltraDNS servers (which host ".org", ".info" and
other TLDs) suffered for what was apparently a large dDoS, may be the
largest since 2002 (http://www.isc.org/ops/f-root/october21.txt).

It is not completely over, the ICANN network is still under attack:

You can see what happens to the G root name server:

and to L:
