Hanging out in the chan threads last night talking about this was a blast. The way Schneier described the events it looked like the DDOS was a distraction for something else. Then I reread the article. You cannot take down global DNS.

    This database contains public DNS Servers that are reachable by IPv4 or IPv6. Currently there are 55,053 Nameservers from 205 countries in the database.

It's not like the old days where there were only 13 global DNS servers.
