Domain name service provider ZoneEdit has suffered a massive denial of
service attack that has left thousands of customers with intermittent
service over at least two days.

The attack, which started early Tuesday morning Eastern time and continued
Wednesday, affected four of ZoneEdit's 25 domain name servers, said George
DeCarlo, senior VP of marketing for Vancouver, Wash.-based Dotster, which
owns ZoneEdit. "It really was a massive denial of service attack," he said.

Less than 5% of ZoneEdit's customer base was affected, but that amounts to
thousands of customers, DeCarlo said. He refused to provide more specific
numbers.
