DNS/Bind Blackhole - Not MX

[Jeff Lightner]

I'm fairly new to it myself but figured I'd offer this.  I had noted a
lot of "lame server" logging occurring here and checked into that.  My
research didn't reveal anyone thought this was a big problem and several
suggestions were to turn off lame server logging by adding this to
named.conf:

logging {
category lame-servers { null; };
};

If its lame server logging that prompted your question adding the above
will prevent those from being logged any longer.

I asked this question before the holidays and figured I would give it
another shot. 
 

Hi all,

I'm new to DNS, but have a question about blackholes.  This isn't for
SPAM
and MX blackhole lists, but rather blackholing DNS servers that are
known to
report incorrect information due to mis-configuration or neglect.  Is
this
even something I should be worried about?  Is it something anyone else
does
with their bind server on a regular basis and if so, is it often?  I
just
trying to get a sense of the importance of it and how common it is.

 

 

 

Thank you,

Brian
