For those sufficiently paranoid to worry about such things, one solution (I believe, if I'm not misunderstanding the nature of the threat) is to run a well-written, efficient, secure caching nameserver on each and every local system, putting 127.0.0.1 in /etc/resolv.conf. One great caching nameserver is djb's dnscache, at <URL:http://cr.yp.to/dnscache.html>. -Bennett <HR NOSHADE> <UL> <LI>application/pgp-signature attachment: stored </UL>
