I guess I should have been more precise, how many requests were/are actually 
being directed at sco.com by mydoom?  Yeah, I realized they took it out of 
the DNS, but I was wondering if it was:
1)  Because they actually were being flooded with requests
2)  It was a precaution, but no evidence that it happened
3)  If precaution, was it justified or merely for 'theatrics'  (Of course it 
could have always been both).
