That being said you CAN do what you asked: Create an ACL in named.conf:
# Blackhats ACL - zones to be used in blackhole statement - will prevent # them from being allowed to query and will not respond to them. acl "blackhats" { xx.xx.xx.xx; }; (Where you put the specific IP in place of the xx.xx.xx.xx.) Then in options section add a line to use the ACL: blackhole { blackhats; }; -----Original Message----- From: bind-users-boun...@lists.isc.org [mailto:bind-users-boun...@lists.isc.org] On Behalf Of Eric C.

I'm trying to implement a script where it reads the BIND stats file for all the incoming queries and if there are too many queries from a single user (source IP) it will block queries from that particular IP. In order for this to occur is there a parameter similar to allow-query that I can inject into the named.conf to block query from a single IP address when this condition occurs? Basically I'm trying to add a tool to detect potential DOS attacks where we see too many queries from one single IP. Any other suggestions would also be appreciated. > > Thanks > Prabhat. > > > > > > > > > _______________________________________________ > bind-users mailing list > bind-users@lists.isc.org > https://lists.isc.org/mailman/listinfo/bind-users > _______________________________________________ bind-users mailing list bind-users@lists.isc.org https://lists.isc.org/mailman/listinfo/bind-users Please consider our environment before printing this e-mail or attachments. ---------------------------------- CONFIDENTIALITY NOTICE: This e-mail may contain privileged or confidential information and is for the sole use of the intended recipient(s).
