Hi,

This may be a false alarm, but in the past few days I've had a lot of
people jiggling the port 53 (DNS) doorknob on my firewall. About as many
in the last 4 days as I had in the previous 4 months...

Makes me think the script kiddies have a exploit toy for the BIND/named
vulnerability discussed at: http://www.cert.org/advisories/CA-2001-02.html
and http://www.isc.org

So... if you haven't updated your externally visible named(8) yet,
now might be a good time.

Karl
