Heh. Yep, compromise to their proprietary DNS software codebase. Yep, I like that. That will shut the little Microserf up here at the office who is trying to convince my boss that I don't know what I'm talking about when I refuse to drop BIND 8 for a complete M$ DNS solution.
Anyhoo - whatever they "fixed" is broken again:

Yikes - all the DNS are dead, again!

Hey, that's only 3.5 years old. We can't expect M$ to be up to best current practice of anything that's less than 5 years old. *snicker*
