        The DNS attacks are starting!!!

        Below is a snippet of a logwatch from last night.  Be sure all DNS
        servers are updated if at all possible.  The spooks are out in full
        on this security vulnerability in force.

        THIS IS YOUR LAST WARNING...!!!
        Patch or Upgrade NOW!

        ...

this ought to be an interesting weekend.

I saw much more than this *from the same address* starting two days ago, and from several other blocks belonging to the same university starting last week, to my home router and another server. So far my better connected servers haven't been hit hard. (and no non-auto answer from "security" at that university...)
