It's been a long while since I looked - how is that done? Do the resolvers query multiple servers from their hints (and somehow resolve differences), or do they just pick one at random and accept the results? It seems like maybe if they'd query multiple and take a majority opinion of the results, the potential damage of hijacking of an old IP would be minimized. -- Chris Adams <[email protected]> _______________________________________________ dns-operations mailing list [email protected] https://lists.dns-oarc.net/mailman/listinfo/dns-operations
