would an anti-kashpureff bgp feed fix the dns pollution problems similar to the anti spam black list. If yes, is it collusion which would be prosecutable? If no, what are the TECHNICAL reasons it wouldn't work.

No, because *ANY* nameserver which gets the pollution can then pollute you.

Since you can't cut off EVERY nameserver with such a feed, it is pointless to attempt it.

However, a coordinated effort to block them all could, correct? Kind of like the sanity filters at customer borders. Don't allow traffic into your network that doesn't originate from their assigned network numbers. If everyone were to block the ranges no one would get polluted... So is it my understanding that it is technically possible, but logistically impossible to coordinate? If we were to block them, then we wouldn't have to worry about every idiosyncracy of BIND, both known and yet to be found. At 09:13 AM 7/23/97 -0500, Karl Denninger wrote: lines!
