Python-dns is used by python-spf and python-formencode. I wanted to let you know that python-dns has problems with respect to the current DNS cache issue. See http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=490217 for details.
Python-dns upstream is going to do a release that will at least provide TID randomization. It's his position though that since python-dns opens a new socket for each request, it's the OS job to randomize the port. 2.6.24 will do this, but the Etch kernel will not. So, after upstream is done, I think Lenny/Sid will be OK, but Etch will still not have port randomization. I know nothing about python-formencode's usage of python-dns. Does this present a security risk?
