Wondered why I couldn’t get my GMail for a while…

Om Malik reports on the Google Domain Hijacking.

Om has heard from Google and it looks like they were doing some DNS work. This is one the oldest parts of the working Internet, and it is the most complex and devious thing to get right. Entire companies have been built around managing DNS.

It is almost as though the people who designed DNS made it obtuse and difficult to manage so they could sell their consulting services to the rest of us.
