The big question is: what will happen to this "burned" domain name? It
will need months till this packetstorm will calm. Is there a more
professional idea than removing the a records?

Hmm.. "professional" and (implied) "SCO" in the same sentence.

Remember you're talking about a company that filed this in its 10K with
the SEC back on Jan 28:

"Additionally, we have recently experienced a distributed denial-of-service
attack as a result of the "Mydoom" worm virus. It is reported that the effects
of this virus will continue into February 2004."

Yep.  Jan 28 was the *filing* date.  Figure they actually *wrote* that
at least a day or three before.

So when did this DDoS actually start? ;)
