Oh, come on.... If you query direct to Microsoft's DNS servers, they return MX records happily, but they time out rather then return an A record. This seems more obviously like a software problem, rather then DDoS, or ICANN, who apparently controls Microsoft's DNS servers (laugh out loud) "We don't manage the DNS ourselves, it is a system controlled by the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) with worldwide replicas."
