Actually that's precisely how I discovered it. I added allow queries and was trying to figure out why I was denying so many queries per second. Others should take a look and see if this is really widespread. I'm getting it from a whole *bunch* of different ip's. I wish I could do the joke, but I have too many real zones that I primary and secondary so I can't really load a phony root.db. I agree with your analysis. It seems like a really stupid thing to do, which is why I am having trouble understanding why so many people are querying me like that. It just doesn't make sense. -- ------------------------------------------------------ Dale Amon [EMAIL PROTECTED] +44-7802-188325 International linux systems consultancy Hardware & software system design, security and networking, systems programming and Admin "Have Laptop, Will Travel" ------------------------------------------------------
