DNS survey

The Internet Systems Consortium's BIND software, which performs the domain name resolution function, is often out of date, opening the door to malicious attacks. And, the systems are sometimes mis-configured, potentially compromising network availability.

What's your point Olivier?

I met one of the programmers at the company that wrote BIND 9 (yesterday at the Internet Telephony Conference). Of course he tried to convince me the commercial package written by his company is better.

What do you recommend we do based on your post?

Hello Jeff,
This post was there to remind people that Bind needs to be secured a little bit before use. Just installing the default config can lead to problems.
