Which brings me to some important bit of info, just in case people out
there havent heard.
There is a possible hole in Bind 8.2 and 4.9.X trees, either remote root
exploits, or DOS attacks.
The current patch level is pl5, available at www.isc.org -- as well as
info regarding the potential exploit.
(sorry, some may not be on bugtraq, etc. i've found alot of people havent
heard about this yet)
