Dear all,

I have a question, it's not really a big problem, but it's annoying.

In the logs I get plenty of lines like :
> client 202.152.172.4 query (cache) 'denkstelle.de/MX/IN' denied: 1 Time(s)
> client 202.152.172.4 query (cache) 'denkstunde.de/MX/IN' denied: 2 Time(s)

This seems to be due to a script-kiddie.

I would like to know if I can block hosts doing that at the level of 
/etc/hosts.allow or should I do it at the level of Bind itself ?

Currently it is working for sshd on this server to add lines in 
/etc/hosts.allow, but I would like to know if it would be possible for 
bind :
sshd: 121.14.195.176: DENY

# uname -a
Linux (host) 2.6.27.25-78.2.56.fc9.i686 #1 SMP Thu Jun 18 12:47:50 EDT 
2009 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux
# cat /etc/redhat-release
Fedora release 9 (Sulphur)

Thanks a lot in advance for any help...

And sorry if this is not 100% on topic, I know it's at the border 
between BIND and OS...

Denis
