Hello,

Given this query, the local DNS response with three sections ANSWER, AUTHORITY, ADDITIONAL.


;; ANSWER SECTION:
geocast.net.            735     IN      MX      10 ALT2.ASPMX.L.GOOGLE.COM.
geocast.net.            735     IN      MX      20 ASPMX2.GOOGLEMAIL.COM.
geocast.net.            735     IN      MX      5 ASPMX.L.GOOGLE.COM.
geocast.net.            735     IN      MX      10 ALT1.ASPMX.L.GOOGLE.COM.

;; AUTHORITY SECTION:
geocast.net.            3435    IN      NS      ns2.cloudwebdns.COM.
geocast.net.            3435    IN      NS      ns3.cloudwebdns.COM.
geocast.net.            3435    IN      NS      ns1.cloudwebdns.COM.
geocast.net.            3435    IN      NS      ns4.cloudwebdns.COM.

;; ADDITIONAL SECTION:
ns1.cloudwebdns.COM.    2626    IN      A       114.112.51.224
ns2.cloudwebdns.COM.    2626    IN      A       173.254.229.119
ns3.cloudwebdns.COM.    2626    IN      A       174.140.166.81
ns4.cloudwebdns.COM.    2626    IN      A       209.141.54.207


If somebody insert the domain "google.com" and "googlemail.com" into cloudwebdns.com 's zone files and setup the corresponding records. Thus ns*.cloudwebdns.com will response the query above with the fake addresses, like:

geocast.net.            735     IN      MX      20 ASPMX2.GOOGLEMAIL.COM.
geocast.net.            735     IN      MX      5 ASPMX.L.GOOGLE.COM.
geocast.net.            735     IN      MX      10 ALT1.ASPMX.L.GOOGLE.COM.

;; AUTHORITY SECTION:
geocast.net.            3435    IN      NS      ns2.cloudwebdns.COM.
geocast.net.            3435    IN      NS      ns3.cloudwebdns.COM.
geocast.net.            3435    IN      NS      ns1.cloudwebdns.COM.
geocast.net.            3435    IN      NS      ns4.cloudwebdns.COM.

;; ADDITIONAL SECTION:
ASPMX.L.GOOGLE.COM.    2626    IN      A       1.2.3.4
ALT1.ASPMX.L.GOOGLE.COM.    2626    IN      A       5.6.7.8
ALT2.ASPMX.L.GOOGLE.COM.    2626    IN      A       1.2.3.4
ASPMX2.GOOGLEMAIL.COM.    2626    IN      A       5.6.7.8

As shown above google's addresses can be faked.
How will a local DNS server prevent this hijack DNS records?

Thanks.
