dan answered: > There weren't rfc1918. i'm sorry if i mixed too many topics in one post. it doesn't have to be rfc1918. let's say that someone registers a zone, let's call it nanogtest.vix.com, and points it at your nameservers without your permission. in response, let's create a zone file with this content: --- @ SOA localhost hostmaster.localhost 42 3600 1800 604800 3600 NS localhost localhost A 127.0.0.1 * MX 0 localhost A 127.0.0.1 --- note that this content is all-purpose. it doesn't matter what the real zone is called. in bind's named.conf, add something like this: --- zone "nanogtest.vix.com" { type master; file "pri/nanogtest.vix.com"; }; --- and you're done. any query that anyone sends to your server for that zone will be sent something that will hurt them. eventually they will realize that it's hurting them, and they will stop.
