BIND. Apparently they loaded an empty zone ( i bet one of the zillion 
crappy perl scripts that maintain zone reloading failed )
I find it more suspicious that it took two hours to load a backup, 
... They _do_ have backups, right?

You think bounces are bad? I'll give you my phone for a day when it happens again.

Yeah - I'd like to know what crappy DNS server they are running that
does that. We've had issues in the past with a New Zealand ISP whose DNS
servers returned NXDOMAIN under load - causing email to bounce

Stupid, stupid, stupid
