It might help the A Root, at least, if the SOA record listed bogus.root-servers.net instead of A.root-servers.net, and then a record mapped bogus.root-servers.net to 127.0.0.1. That should keep Win2K and follow-ons from sending dynamic updates to the root zone.
SOAs with bogus.domain.names pointing to 127.0.0.1 appear to be causing email to bounce (amongst other things). Is there something out there specifically describing putting [your.domain].local in the SOA to achieve this? What is the rational behind this? Best Regards, Simon -- ###
