I think Leto was right to say that PowerDNS was affacted by the Kaminsky whatnot, _in_ _a_ _way_.
Bert, you need to read those first two sentences of leto slowly and carefully, he wasn't saying that PowerDNS recursor was 'spoofable' in any way, just that it was _affected_, and i think thats true somehow.

hmm well he set up the other routers in a way that they loose their configuration upon reload/powercycle - maybe a city-wide EMP is not what city officials would want. I suppose they're still keen to gain access to the rest of the equipment.;)
When we - which you can read as 'i' btw.;-) - were still on BIND9.(3|4) i had crashing named processes at least once a day, never had a single crash of a pdns_recursor process that wasn't my own fault until this day. Just as a funny sidenote i thought i should share with you what happened when i grabbed myself a heart and switched from BIND8 to BIND9 one day.;-)
This was the result: http://zaphods.net/~zaphodb/high-performance-bind9.html
We use PowerDNS recursor at a large german DSL ISP and i simply must say it totally rocks. When we - which you can read as 'i' btw.;-) - were still on BIND9.(3|4) i had crashing named processes at least once a day, never had a single crash of a pdns_recursor process that wasn't my own fault until this day. Also the PowerDNS community is a nice bunch of people. Come visit us at #powerdns on IRCnet. \o/
As for unbound, yeah it sure looks interesting but don't trust the benchmark, that one simply doesn't look like they used 'real' DNS traffic for it. If you're a recursive DNS Admin you'll know how ugly things are out in the wild.;-)
Well i own a Macbook Pro since last Saturday, sure i've heard about Bonjour and Zeroconf but from what i have learned about it Microsoft seems to take its PNRP thing one step further, even using it do distribute computing tasks as they say in some introduction video i've seen. Thats why i wonder how apple will respond to it and if we might be on the verge of a whole new personal computing era where you can contribute parts of your laptops computing power to the local super computing cluster grid.
Btw. avahid has some rather peculiar hard limits on the amount of mdns messages it passes through as a friend found out on a 300 people gathering we ran the network for - there's still much work to do in the field i fear.
This might prove a viable way to establish a decentralized DNS in the future. Version 2 of the protocol ships with Vista. Makes me wonder what Apple will come up with next in that field.
As german native speaker i was taught by my english teacher, that it's is just short for it is and that the former cannot be regarded as slang per se but is something you would only write when quoting someone for it is bad style in a letter.
Sure enough i have seen native english speakers use it any way they like.;-)
For all i hear that is only true for motherboards of other manufacturers based on the VIA chipsets.
It seems that if VIA builds the board themselves the board runs flawlessly and the chipset is supportive of every aspect of the hardware, especially when it comes to saving power.
I did not have a single problem with the Mini-ITX board of my Router running Linux (802.1q, PPPoE, named, dhcpdv3, asterisk). Could be that i just haven't read about the problems of others for i had none.;)
At the moment the only working mirror i found was ftp://ftp.ntua.gr/pub/X11/X.org/X11R6.8.0/tars/ . I downloaded and made a torrent of the tar.gz's:

I was BOUND but then i became UNBOUND by PowerDNS. ;-)
it's not an article but a security advisory. meaning _if_ you run BIND9 somewhere please do read it. ;-)
... after all i thought as it's the U.S. of A. you still have the right to shoot the FCC Trespasser before he can identify her/himself, right? ;-)
hmm well he set up the other routers in a way that they loose their configuration upon reload/powercycle - maybe a city-wide EMP is not what city officials would want. I suppose they're still keen to gain access to the rest of the equipment. ;)
..., and find some way or another to integrate a mouse into the keyboard without ruining the keyboard, which is a difficult but not impossible task.
err you mean like this? http://www.fingerworks.com/ST_product.html
Yes you interpretation is correct it hasn't crashed yet and thats since Nov 11 2006 - just looked it up.

Microsoft is trying something like this with PNRP (peer name resolution protocol)

even better, its GPL.
A better place to point slashdot people to is http://doc.powerdns.com/
the shiny official site does not provide all the geeky information that we hunger for.

Internet traffic exchanges worldwide have seen the amount of traffic roughly double in the last couple of hours.
I don't think so, i did not see such an increse on our network, and AM-SIX's hugegraph confirms that: -> http://www.ams-ix.net/hugegraph.html
