I realise that, but the same applies to people not blocking ICMP from ping attacks. How many IP addresses still have ICMP open - even on some of the largest sites, and on Win or nix machines? I think we just have to weigh the pro's and cons and take a decision. I for one have never heard of a Win2K DNS being attacked in that way, but I sure have heard of pings of death and similar dos attacks.
