Noone in the security field has any right to expect any implementation of DNS to be secure until DNSSEC is widely implemented.
I'm sorry if something I said misled you to believe otherwise.
So BIND 8.1.1 is NOT "immune" to the poisoned resource-record attack? I ask because you specifically stated that it was. Sorry to nag, I'd just like to see this clarified to the operations community.
BIND 4.9.6 and 8.1.1 are immune to all known attacks, including the one Eugene Kashpureff copied and put into wide public use recently. I know of attacks we are not immune to, which cannot be stopped without DNSSEC. My paper, whose URL I gave in the previous message, alludes to some of these without exactly giving a road map for their use.
