To reiterate: BIND 8.1.1 is not immune to all the variants of the attack used by the Alternic,
False. The attacks which remain are not variants of the bug exploited by AlterNIC, which was a program bug rather than a protocol misfeature.
and there are very real security problems that remain (and will continue to remain) until the implementation of DNSSEC (according to Mr. Vixie).
True.
As this thread is now rapidly losing it's operations context (as well as it's informative value), I'd suggest we now move towards killing it.
As soon as messages containing misstatements like the one above stop appearing, I for one will be happy to return to lurk status.
