Both JeffHoogland and BodhiLinux are failing, 16:51 EDT.

I use GoDaddy's premium dns service - that's d.o.a. ...

Godaddy's DNS servers were affected, so if you were set up to provide your own DNS then you were probably unaffected. If your whois record shows that your DNS points to one of the godaddy DNS servers then your users will only see your domain as long as their provider's DNS cache remains active.

If you were hit by this, there is a workaround available (I had to do this for three of my client's domains):

1. Set up your own (or a reliable third party) master DNS for your domain(s).

2. Log into your godaddy account to set your DNS choice to your new DNS servers.

Note 1: The godaddy.com domain is also affected by this outage, so you will need to manually set up /etc/hosts entries for the missing *.godaddy.com domains before you will be able to access your account page.

Note 2: You may need to click on the godaddy submit button 10 or 20 times in order for your request to make it through the DDOS traffic.

Hope this helps someone.

So,... Do you guys believe Anonymous did this one?!?! There are statements that there is no proof (hinting that they weren't responsible).

Dunno. But, Anonymous usually employs DDoS attacks. This appears to be a sophisticated DNS cache poisoning technique.
