This affected a lot of my company's clients. Our helpdesk was inundated with calls.

Ah...so that explains it. I had a call a couple minutes ago from a remote user who was having trouble get to one of our sites that is hosted by NetSol. I guess this explains it.

I'm glad to hear that it was an outside attack instead of an internal problem kept users from reaching my Xen Gateway this morning! It's hard to be happy about DDoS but at least I can say "nerds on the internet wanted attention and shut down the website.

Really it just hosed up DNS but it was "down" to the users.
