shrug I know how BGP works, yes. I think though from the symptoms of the issue it is going to end up being (If Godaddy is telling the truth about not being hacked), as you say, a compound failure. The exact cause of such a failure is left up to a truthful, full account of the outage being released. Further into this thread someone reported that an engineer from their side is going to release more information, so we'll see soon whom gets the prize :P.
