Simple fix doesn't means a fast fix. Many websites are losing traffic (sometimes paid) and they don't know why...
I'd like to know if they wrote their DNS stack from scratch or, if they started it from an open-source codebase, if it's too affected by the problem.
This issue is being fixed & should be done by tomorrow or so.
It isn't affecting ALL domains. It appears to be an issue with CNAMEs/APEX only.

This left me wondering if Windows DNS servers have some kind of signature we could use to find how many of them are out there. Maybe starting a campaign to kill it like it was done with IE6 ;-)
Anyway, I suspect the folks at CloudFlare will correct this rather easily. This doesn't look like a problem that reaches very deep.
