Posting this thread here, because HN uses EasyDNS.

If you have problem accessing HN, here are IPs, that you can put in your /etc/hosts file:

   67.23.12.57      ycombinator.com
   174.132.225.106  news.ycombinator.com

or you can just wait, until attack is over.

Interesting. I couldn't access the site about 20 minutes go. Running "host news.ycombinator.com" returned nothing.

TTL for news.ycombinator.com A record is 20 minutes. Such a small value doesn't lend it's self well to DOS attacks against DNS servers. Useful if you need to change your DNS records quickly though.
