What is wrong with the internet today?

Anyone else notice that a whole bunch of websites are down today?
Is some major server down?

unless I'm mistaken you missed a step. Type cmd into the run window, then type ipconfig /flushdns. Not sure if you can do that straight from the run window and can't check as I'm currently on my Mac.
