From here neither www.google.com, nor www.apple.com work. Both
seem to return CNAMES to akadns.net addresses (eg, www.google.akadns.net,
www.apple.com.akadns.net), and from here all of the akadns.net
servers listed in whois are failing to respond.
Can someone confirm from another location? Comments from Akamai?
I've noticed this for the past ~30 minutes.
(with news.yahoo).
hopefully it will be fixed soon.

Confirmed from here. Google is back for us, yahoo, fedex, microsoft, and
others still out. As observed, all look to relate back to akadns.net.
we see the same thing here in The Netherlands.
it would seem like Akamai has fallen off the net.
Tried all NSs on all locations, none of them responded.

Google appears to be having DNS issues in several places... Luckily my
internal network cache appears to remain viable. I can not resolve google
from home using a more "production" set of DNS servers nor can a buddy of
mine who hangs off of Verio.
If you want some google IPs here is what is in my cache at work...

Yes confirmed here, seems to be affecting all Akamai sites right now.

We're seeing it too. Has AKAM lost any key talent that kept them straight until a few weeks ago? Isn't this the second issue to hit Nanog in as many months?

Hi,
We've been seeing this too, but it looks to have been fixed from here
(AS12703) as of about 2 minutes ago.

The Internet is largely based on (non-shared) simple algorithms and not
having shared points of failure.
The problem here seems to be that many folks are sharing Akamai's magic DNS
algorithms.
Hmm. "Excess Sharing Considering To Be Harmful", anyone? Our kindergarten
teachers would be shocked 
- Dan
So anyone know what was the cause ?

Akamai is blaming is on a DDoS:

Of course, their share price closed up 78c rather than down
