Numpang tanya dong:

* Sebaiknya bertahan di bind 8 atau pindah ke bind 9?
* Masalahnya apa saja, pada saat pindah dari 8 ke 9?
* Kalau bertahan, masalahnya apa?

Eh, ini ada lampiran dari milis laen...
Salam,

I don't want to get into a flamewar on whats the best DNS 
package to use, but because of this recent vulnerability 
I decided to re-evaluate my BIND setup, spent a couple 
hours researching, testing and cleaning it up to make it
more secure. A good document I found that helped me was this:

http://www.acmebw.com/resources/papers/securing.pdf
(or for google's html version which is what I used):
http://216.239.51.100/search?q=cache:Lpi8rotBC_0C:www.acmebw.com/resources/papers/securing.pdf+recursion+bind+8&hl=en&ie=UTF-8

some other tips for making your BIND more secure:

- run in chroot (-t option)
- run as non root uid(-u/-g option)
- setup strict acls for zone transfers & queries
- use a remote syslog server and log everything to syslog
- blocking TCP/53 inbound seems to reduce exposure for the recent
vulns, according to the ISS advisory.

I hope to get the time to write a doc myself about securing bind,
so many things to do and so little time! hard to imagine i still seem
to have almost no time even though i don't have a job anymore! damn
this clock! moves too fast.

of course you can always ditch bind, which is probably a good idea
for people who do not have the time or ability to keep up to date
on the latest reports. For me, I plan to use it for the forseeable
future. together with a syslog server, IDS, NIDS, firewall, acls
and more I believe the risk(for me) is acceptable.
