If I understand correctly, the connection between the scanner PC and your DNS server is not really the issue here.

What can cause problems is a firewall between your DNS server and the Internet.

Hi, Matus UHLAR

No, The scanner PC and  DNS server is connected by crossover cable in
my environment. Therefore I have not any idea.

Thanks a lot,

My Linux is OpenSuSE 11.4 with Kernel 2.6.37.6-0.5 which is used for
DNS server. I have installed bind-9.7.3P3-0.2.1

Our external auditor used "NeXpose" for scanning my system. It showed
"Insufficient DNS Source Port Randomization Vulnerability".
The insufficient randomization was afaik fixed in 9.5.0.

Therefore
I have followed BIND 9 Configuration Reference Guide, I have adjusted
named.conf configuration file as below :

query-source address * port * ;
query-source-v6 address * port *;

use-v4-udp-ports { range 1024 65535; };
use-v6-upd-ports ( range 1024 65535; };
Did you have these before? I think that BIND tries those ports by default,
so configuring them should not affect it.

But I am not lucky, The NeXpose software still showed the same
vulnerability. Anybody has some issue ? Anybody can help me ?
Is your resolving server behind firewall? Does the firewall change source
port?
