Hi all,
After the discussion a few days ago about the stunt Verisign has pulled recently, and most people expressing outrage over it, I wonder how many network operators/ISP's etc are actually willing to go as far as running the patches that are surfacing for the various nameserver software that will return NXDOMAIN when a root server tries to return an A record directly instead of a referal ? (Effectively reverting the behaviour to what it was before for your customers, and fixing issues with mailservers trying to look up non-existant domains in the aid of spam detection etc etc)
I guess some people that might consider doing so could be waiting for "official" patches to come out first (like the one recently released as an rc for BIND 9) rather than hacks before implementing it, but what is the general feeling about this kind of action ? Anyone want to 'fess up to doing it already ? :) (on a medium to large scale)
Regards, Simon Byrnand iGRIN Internet
