It sends back an UDP packet that gets truncated and the DNS resolver reverts to TCP to get the full list. It seems to cause problems with Windows clients and/or Windows DNS servers. Seems like overkill. neopets.com has been blatantly and furiously attempting to spam me for several months: http://mrtg.snark.net/nullstats.cgi If they lack the sense to stop trying to relay to a host that does not even ACK their SYNs after several thousand tries, I suspect their proficiency at configuring rfc-compliant DNS might be lacking as well. Shockingly, emails to abuse@verio have been incredibly useless. matto --mghali () snark net------------------------------------------<darwin>< Flowers on the razor wire/I know you're here/We are few/And far between/I was thinking about her skin/Love is a many splintered thing/Don't be afraid now/Just walk on in. #include <disclaim.h>
