Domain Registrar eNom Attacked, Took Our DNS Down

So sorry for the down time experienced today.
The company that we've done our domain registrations with was under attack today. Since they handle our DNS, we were taken down with the attack. Nothing happened to our site, it was simply not accessible since our primary DNS servers were all offline.
In all, they were down for around 7hrs.
They aren't a small company either, eNom apparently handles around 9million domain names - so you can see, it was quite a large take-down by the attackers.
I'll start looking into the options of having secondary DNS servers with another company so this type of problem doesn't take us down next time.
Ah - it's good to be back online!
