The issue here is that a successful attack against the .com servers
would
take out most of the internet since the technical infrastructure is
so
heavily dependent on the the .com zone. Any dummy should
understand that.
We know. Fortunately VRSN is a lot more technically sophisticated
than Netsol, and I would be quite surprised if anyone managed to
DDoS them successfully.
I know some of the people who run the DNS servers, and they have a
variety of tricks up their sleeve that make them a lot more
resilient than you might think. No, I can't tell you what they are.
