Hello,

Are you letting your internal caching name server forward to an external
one ?

This is *dangerous* - cache poisoning attacks in this setup have
 a higher chance of success than the scenario shown by Dan Kaminsky !
 (the "window of opportunity" for success is *seconds*,
  rather than "fractions of seconds") 

I strongly advice not to forward to external, caching name servers.
Or, if you do, also enable DNSSEC validation
(and forward to an external name server that is at least "DNSSEC aware"
 - 8.8.8.8 is not, searches for DS records in the wrong place)

Kind regards,

Marc Lampo
