I have not actually contacted the author as of yet. - what has been said is in the EV1 thread appears correct, I have seen a numerous amount of systems running kiss with them lines commented that have problems with earthlinks DNS servers.
He has given valid reasons why you should keep them commented, however, as much as them comments may be valid, it *does* affect some DNS servers which in my opinion shouldn't happen and therefore, that is my reasoning behind uncommenting the lines in the release I am offering.
I'm sure having the lines uncommented will provide advantages rather than disadvantages with KISS users here, and on EV1, since it's not my script nor do I have any contact withthe author I believe its his responsibility to update or leave the script as it is.
All servers I am currently working on have the lines uncommented to fix the problem, all servers I work on in the future will have the lines uncommented and of course, all releases of the software I provide from here on in, will have the lines uncommented
The *actual* problem is that earthlinks DNS servers appear to use port 53 as a source port for DNS... in depth details on the ev1 link
