I would say time to null route this horribly inappropriate scam, but it looks like a few cable modem providers have already done so, and I am no longer seeing it in the .com zone (but I still see it under .net).
Someone has already brought up the idea on the BIND list of modifying BIND to recognize this response and converting it back to NXDOMAIN. Blackholing the IP means that your customers will get an error that the site is unreachable, not that it does not exist. BTW: I got a "content filter" message bounce in response to my other post on this topic - anyone else get that? I didn't see anything in my message that looked filter-worthy to me. -- Chris Adams <cmadams@hiwaay.net> Systems and Network Administrator - HiWAAY Internet Services I don't speak for anybody but myself - that's enough trouble.
