Given the recent DNS amplification attacks, I've audit and updated our authoritative servers. We are using 9.6.0-P1 now. I've been using the cyrmu templates, but one thing I see is that the dns queries to the . hint file are still occuring and are not being denied by our servers. For example:
27-Jan-2009 15:00:22.963 queries: client 64.57.246.146#64176: view
external-in: query: . IN NS +
27-Jan-2009 15:00:23.118 queries: client 64.57.246.146#33146: view
external-in: query: . IN NS +
the named.conf has:
...
...
...
view "external-in" in {
match-clients { any; };
recursion no;
additional-from-auth no;
additional-from-cache no;
zone "." in {
type hint;
file "db.cache";
};
...
...
since you can't put a "allow-query { none; };" in a hint zone, what can I do
to deny the query to the . zone file?
