Microsoft appears to be blaming ICANN for the failure with Microft's domain name servers (all located at the same place at Microsoft). Microsoft has yet to pin down the cause of the DNS error. "It can be a system or human error, but somebody could also have done this intentionally," De Jonge said. "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." http://www.idg.net/ic_386962_1793_1-1681.html Microsoft gamers (users of www.zone.com) quickly came up with various workarounds so they could continue playing. They were posting HOSTS.TXT files on various gamer bulletin boards overnight.
