Re: DNS Problem

Hello all,

From: Peter.Houlder@elmail.co.uk Dear all,

there seems to be a DNS problem regarding the root name servers. We (that means the ch top-level DNS server) has picked up several times now a false A record for E.ROOT-SERVERS.NET. The address picked up is binary zero. A restart only helps for a short time. Other top-level DNS servers contain the false entry as well.

If this problem is serious for you - try RU-BIND v2.3 from http://ftp.kiae.su/relcom/unix/RU-BIND-2.3-dist.tar.Z I inserted in it the protection from such kind of invalid A RRs. But take in attention - it hasn't RP in primary zones (yet)... and don't very portable beyond BSD-like systems... - Leonid Yegoshin, LY22
