Re: ASCII Char 255 crashes a network

[George <georger () NLS NET>]

What do you suppose would happen if I created a domain on a linux DNS server
called

<alt 255>

and then tried to request a reverse lookup using an NT DNS server? Anyone
tried this? NT stores zone files under the zonename.dns but because it would
only be cached I don't think filenames would affect it. However if it's not
the filesys but some internal system that the <alt 255> causes a problem for
is it possible this could affect a DNS server if it got into the cache?
