If the machine is "Internal Use Only" caching DNS, why does it even have a public IP? It should not even need one. Dan

I have a problem. A very nice person (not) has published the IP Address of one of our DNS servers as a nameserver for a bunch of porn sites. Example: We run dns1.abcd.com on 1.1.1.1 and this guy has published ns2.pornsite.com on our IP Address of 1.1.1.1 Result is that our DNS server is being bombarded for queries about these various porn sites. None of the sites I've tested are actually up... just names of porn sites. Either way we're getting millions of DNS requests. We really don't want to change the IP address of that server. The guy who has done all of this is apparently in Russia. He only knows a few words in English and most are curses. The queries come from millions of different IP Addresses so there's no way to block them. Anyone have any suggestions on how to force someone to clean up their DNS? Thanks in advance, -Joe
