this should be pushed to the router. don't waste CPU cycles on the Nameserver.
Hosts tend to be a faster writeoff cycle than routers in companies I've worked at, therefore getting the benefit of moores law about 25% faster than the routers. Turn on firewalling in the host.
If you have a choice between access lists on a software forwarding based router and firewall on a host, this may be a good choice. If your routers have hardware forwarding, I'd go for the router every time... Steinar Haug, Nethelp consulting, sthaug@nethelp.no
