Hi,
I noticed an interesting side-effect of the co-ordinated DNS patching after the
news broke out on Tues July 8th. Some DNS servers started seeing more than
normal amount of query traffic, most likely due to the fact that the patched
DNS clients and resolvers had their caches reset and hence had to resolve new
domains. More interestingly, all these clients began their new DNS resolutions
around the same time. For more details please read the blog article at:

Thanks,
Soups Ranjan
