A DDoS on the heels of Microsoft's takeover of 22 No-IP domains makes things worse.



From ArsTechnica:

The cause isn't yet clear, but more than 36 hours after Microsoft disrupted dynamic DNS hosting for millions of No-IP.com users, service reportedly remained down for many, and the main website was also unavailable.

Legitimate users caught in legal fire designed to take down botnets.
No-IP users continue to post tweets such as this one and this one saying service is still down. No-IP representatives on Tuesday evening reported coming under a denial-of-service attack but went on to suggest it had no relation to continuing problems with domain name resolution, which Microsoft took over a day earlier under a highly controversial court order issued in a botnet takedown action.
