Hello,
would it be wise to have a "max-transfer-time-out" option ?
It seems such a setting is missing (but perhaps, of course,
the named might have a built-in limit ?).
The motivation is that by not setting an upper limit to the
time it may take for a transfer to take place, the named puts
some "trust" on the proper behaving of the partner asking for
the transfer.
Without a time-limit, what are the defenses of named against
a program that opens, but never reads, from possibly numerous
tcp connections for zone transfers.
Greetings,
