Looks like they are having some serious issues. It doesn't appear

Hmm -- UltraDNS was attacked; I wonder if there's a connection.

A few weeks ago, there was tons of dns pounding all over the net.
Today, we see registrars going dark because of dns issues.
Today, people think Conficker will "do" something.
I am puzzled. Maybe it is just 04/01 paranoia?
Thought of one more thing...
Wasn't Conficker also configured to try and register a ton of randomly
generated domains? Two registrars go dark today?
Ok, put the imagination on hold...
