Hotmail NS: ns3.hotmail.com internet address = 209.185.130.68 ns1.hotmail.com internet address = 216.200.206.140 Whereas Microsoft NS: DNS6.CP.MSFT.NET internet address = 207.46.138.20 DNS4.CP.MSFT.NET internet address = 207.46.138.11 DNS5.CP.MSFT.NET internet address = 207.46.138.12 DNS7.CP.MSFT.NET internet address = 207.46.138.21 A simple nslookup to the above servers says: nslookup -q=ns microsoft.com dns6.cp.msft.net *** Can't find server name for address 207.46.138.20: No response from server *** Default servers are not available Just to check, the 207.46.138 dns servers belong to: route: 207.46.128.0/18 descr: MS-CP origin: AS8070 mnt-by: MICROSOFT-MAINT-CW changed: [email protected] 20001024 source: CW And so without doubt, it is MS themselves who are down not icann, root dns or anything else...
