I'll just point out a few lines I wrote.  I have tried to be polite about
all of this.

Oh, come on....

If you query direct to Microsoft's DNS servers, they return MX records
happily, but they time out rather then return an A record.

This seems more obviously like a software problem, rather then DDoS, or
ICANN, who apparently controls Microsoft's DNS servers (laugh out loud)

"We don't manage the DNS ourselves, it is a system controlled by the Internet
Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) with worldwide replicas."

Microsoft's ITG is investigating this issue.  I haven't been clued in as
of yet as to what is the main issue.
I apolozise for not being able to disclose more information.
