And what about similar messages, where the update is tried, not on private IP reverse DNS, but on . (the root zone), or some fancy domain I happen(ed) to have running on the server (I remember eightball.net and kickingback.com)? And what if it comes from machines 15 hops away? Examples: Nov 12 12:02:27 [hostname] named[82]: denied update from [12.234.42.233].32776 for "." IN Nov 12 12:18:56 [hostname] named[82]: denied update from [12.234.42.233].32776 for "."

I haven't researched that. I am guessing. I do not run reverse DNS for private address space on the box, so the update of these addresses cannot be what it is about, or can it? -- [04] We value you like our close relations. http://logoff.org/ To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
