[outages] msn.com and microsoft.com

[Dan White]

I am unable to reach msn.com, due to DNS lookup failures.
http://microsoft.com is responding very slowly within a web browser (it's A
record is cached in my nameserver).

None of the ns[1-5].msft.net nameservers are responding to queries. The
glue records for msft.net currently look to me like:

ns1.msft.net.       67622   IN  A   65.55.37.62
ns5.msft.net.       67622   IN  A   65.55.226.140
ns2.msft.net.       67622   IN  A   64.4.59.173
ns4.msft.net.       67622   IN  A   207.46.75.254
ns3.msft.net.       67622   IN  A   213.199.180.53

Here is a traceroute to ns1.msft.net:

This issue may be limited to the Dallas area. Can anyone else confirm
access?

Thank You,
