All you need to do is change your DNS servers to 208.68.222.222 and 208.67.220.220. Suprisingly, OpenDNS servers are faster than my own ISPs! (PS: Yes, I do have a local cache of all the websites I visit, so incase the worlds DNS servers are down, I still can keep visiting them :)) I use/used OpenDNS servers, which has builtin phishing prevention and website-spelling-mistype correction, so its awesome.

Yes, 13 IP addresses, but not 13 servers… far more.

It’s actually possible for an IP address to live in 2 countries at once.

They go down, the web becomes a private network with no dns. Old skewl days peeps, you'd need to know the true IP of a site to hit it. Doesn't surprise me this is happening, but it also doesn't really make much sense. You take out the root hint servers and it's harder for you as a hacker to connect and attack peoples machines to add them into your botnet. I'd expect to see this attack coming from somewheres in China as usual. That or it's simply the US department of defense creating a new threat. They've been grasping at straws for years trying to find a reason to control and censor the internet. Make a few large scale coordinated attacks and blame it on rouge hackers and electronic warfare and you have a reason to start large scale internet regulation.
