	Seems to have affected several states.

	DSL outage hits AT&T in Southeast
	http://www.cnn.com/2007/TECH/12/04/att.outage.ap/index.html

	I guess I understand why I didn't see it at all.  I run my own name
servers, both caching and authoritative, so I don't depend on the AT&T
name servers for anything.

	Lame...  Most resolvers support three name servers for queries.  If
they have three, what was the single point of failure.  If they didn't
have three, that was their biggest failure.
