    " A few readers reported that at there is trouble on the worldnic.com DNS servers.
    Those servers are operated by Network Solutions and are hosting a number of their customer's DNS needs. Network Solutions is aware of the problem.
    To clarify the impact to the casual reader:
    * Not all customers of Network Solutions are affected.
    * No root or TLD servers are known to reside on these machines.
    * It's "just" individual domains that are affected, but it might be a lot of them.
    * Only domains that have all their namervers on these machines will have significant impact.
    There is a lesson to learn for those affected and those designing solutions. Do not put all your DNS servers on the same hardware, the same connections, the same location, ... , the same management. Diversity is the key to success.
    This will be bad news for those organisations wanting to profit from Cyber Monday, the biggest on-line purchase day according to CNN.
