www2.sco.com enjoys good response times. Further corroboration of the generally good connectivity across the Internet can be seen by viewing www2.sco.com. which is on the same Class C that www.sco.com occupied until earlier this evening. [Netcraft]

SCO drop www.sco.com from the DNS. SCO have done the public spirited thing and taken www.sco.com out of the DNS. This means that there will be no more http traffic travelling across the internet from the infected machines to www.sco.com. Plausibly, the hostmaster's plan was set the TTL to 60 seconds to give himself the flexibility of having changes propogate promptly, and then see what the http traffic was like before making a decision to remove the site from the DNS.

Sunday morning and www.sco.com is still in the DNS. We had expected that SCO might take www.sco.com out of the DNS in the run up to the MyDoom DDoS payload in order to keep the denial of service http traffic off the Internet. So far, though, www.sco.com still resolves and receives http requests, though closing the connection without sending a response. [Netcraft]

Hard to tell if it is being hit by DDoS or if SCO just turned off web services.
