Subject: RE: [STN] Security problem with BIND
Interesting,
Which security check did YOU run?
I have never seen this - but then again, I do not use the DNS provided
by STN, as I have my own "internal" DNS server that services my internal
network - and referrs any external DNS questions out to my provider's
DNS or wherever....
This implies that the STN DNS server is visable to the outside world?
Odd, damned odd. I would not have thought so - as it has no need to be
visable outside....
