The latest word from Digital this morning is that the recent attacks of
BIND v4.9.3 are what they are calling 'malicious inverse queries'. They
do not know if v8.x will stop the attacks, and since they do not
officially support 8.x recommend a temporary patched version of v4.9.3
which stops these attacks. This patch named binary is available from DEC
support.
A couple of people indicated that BIND 8.x is not affected by this
problem.
