[dns-operations] 50gbps DDoS against DNSMadeEasy?

[Dan Durrer]

DNS folk,

Yes,  I too and I think the DNS community would like more information about this attack. Anycast is supposed to help isolate these attacks.  Open discussion about this I think helps benefit the internet as a whole.  Is DNSMadeEasy on this list?
