Wrong approach, they are *innocent* in this as are the new targets.

insert into your favourite acl: deny udp host 66.230.160.1 neq 53 any eq 53 deny udp host 66.230.128.15 neq 53 any eq 53

But it's much less work to add a filter on the name server as others have mentioned.

Having the world trying to keep up with ACL entries seems futile. Is there really nothing to be done about this? (Yes, I know, BCP38, but obviously the accomplice providers don't care.) ~Seth
