Smart Fatigues Hear Enemy Coming: "The core servers that direct e-mail and Web surfers to their desired destinations around the world were attacked Monday in an apparently coordinated attempt to cripple the Internet, experts said Tuesday. The attack, which largely failed, was launched around 5 p.m. EDT/9 p.m. GMT Monday on the 13 root servers that make up Internet's Domain Name System and lasted about an hour, said Paul Vixie, chairman of Redwood City, California-based Internet Software Consortium Inc., which operates one of the root servers."
