Looks like that's whats been done.  Any errors trying to access will have a 
lot to do with DNS updates not showing up on our servers for 24 hours or so 
(just guessing, but I've seen it before).  

However, their solution is pretty half-assed, and I can see all kinds of holes 
in their thinking.  The next dns worm that's aimed at them will be getting  
its address from Google or somewhere similar, and not using the static 
address like this one apparantly does.  Also, I'm beginning to wonder if 
there isn't more to this worm than the spin doctors would have us believe,  
because the solution MS may be using seems kind of extreme.  They've 
sacrificed the update feature for hundreds of thousands of users, many of 
whom are going to become infected in the next 24 hours.  A fishy smell, 
there.
