This will poison DNS servers across the world as they will end up caching the SOA records created by Verisign for these 'dynamic' DNS entries. While the time to live on these records is short, real entries will be dropped as the junk entries are added to the database. There is now a new DNS attack were nodes on the internet create vast numbers of random DNS look up requests so clearing the DNS caches of all the DNS servers they access. -- / \__ ( @\___ Raj Shekhar / O http://geocities.com/lunatech3007/ / (_____/ /_____/ U _______________________________________________ ilugd mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://frodo.hserus.net/mailman/listinfo/ilugd
