Thanks all for the information.

It looks like the practical upshot is that computers that have been 
infected and not yet fixed may loose the ability to resolve names into 
IP addresses starting sometime after July 9, which is when the 
replacement nameservers are supposed to be stopped.

That in and of itself is quite a nuisance for the individual as well as 
the ISP helldesks but it could have been worse. I would certainly not 
call it "Internet doomsday".

Greetings,
Jeroen
