Bind9 overloaded, recursive clients and timeout.

[Cedric Lejeune]

Hello Mark,

Sorry, I really like to but I am not allowed to communicate this kind of 
infos, sorry =/ But if you need to choose/configure a firewall, you 
should take care of any features allowing you to limit requests rate, do 
traffic shaping and the like...

Kind regards,

cedric.
