Tony, Didn't see this mentioned in the other thread messages, but depending on what version of BIND you are using you may find a lot of benefit in using the Response Rate Limiting (RRL) feature. https://www.isc.org/blogs/bind-9-9-4-released/
We have found it to be VERY effective in reducing a lot of these nuisance attacks. Best regards!

This is exactly the thing I was looking for. Thank you very much!

I absolutely believe virtualization has its place. I also believe that "everywhere" is not that place. bind-users is probably not the right forum to discuss virtualization, so I'll just leave the discussion at that for my part.

I guess it was on a mailing list where the OP had issues with either a DHCP or syslog server. It all came down to the vmware host/switch which was not good enough for udp services. Could be that this was on Vmware 4.x and got better on 5.x. But as I said, I can't recall exactly where that was ------------------------------ _______________________________________________ bind-users mailing list bind-users@lists.isc.org https://lists.isc.org/mailman/listinfo/bind-users End of bind-users Digest, Vol 2286, Issue 2 ******************************************* _______________________________________________ Please visit https://lists.isc.org/mailman/listinfo/bind-users to unsubscribe from this list bind-users mailing list bind-users@lists.isc.org https://lists.isc.org/mailman/listinfo/bind-users
