Some days before before the 9.2.2 release, my 9.2.1 nameserver was getting repeatedly killed (with an assertion failure) by a stream of DNS queries over TCP from one of our users. Every time I restarted it, it would die again within a few seconds. We "solved" the problem by blocking traffic from the customer who was generating all the TCP queries. I reported this to ISC, and was informed that this was fixed in 9.2.2rc1 (but my request for more details was ignored). So, if nothing else, I consider 9.2.2 to be a fix for a denial of service problem. -- Take care, Scott \\'unsch ... Write all complaints in this box (in triplicate): [] Thank You!
