Knowledge of the fact that a problem exists is valuable, even without a cookbook resolution. In this case, a few people (some not on this list) would like the operations community to realize that there are, in fact, some very doable attacks that remain unaddressed by BIND 8.1.1.
Ahem. Yes, reporting a problem you can't personally fix is acceptable. Casting asparagus upon the design of code other people have written because it has those problems, however, is another matter. Given that the author thereof is known to be on the list, it's tantamount to a personal attack... which is off-topic, per point 6 of the AUP. :-) My turn: this is off-topic. Please move it to bind-workers, or some other acceptable forum. (I don't mean you, Paul, I mean Messrs. Black and Ptacek.) Cheers, -- jra -- Jay R.
