because they arent attacks on zonealarm as such, they are attacks on DNS servers targeted at the lookup for
www.zonealarm.com ( or that was my understanding )
essentially loads of requests to lookup the ip of
www.zonealarm.com ( well thats one way of looking at it )
the side effect is that all dns lookups are slow or fail ( cos the dns server is getting so many hits )
*edit actually, thats ********, I missread the article*
