Read slashdot on this.  Apparently www.sco.com's A records have been removed from the DNS.  Someone could check the root servers for any other preventative actions taken.

"While we expect this attack to continue throughout the next few weeks, we have a series of contingency plans to deal with this problem and we will begin communicating those plans on moday morning," Jeff Carlon, worldwide director of information technology infrastructure at SCO Group, said in the statement.

Even if they change the A record, their name servers will still get pounding trying to answer lookups.  As a matter of fact, their caldera name servers are timing out right now.
