But what has that got to do with "www.yahoo.com moved into our /19"
.... your comment is pretty unclear.

Why are you so sure it was a bind issue? What logs/research has come
to that conclusion?

Would bind 9.7 really have helped you if you were hacked or was your
vulnerability elsewhere - and if so where? Was this the same server
that you posted where you had mangled the install with force
reinstalling rpms from SL and/or oracle that you posted about before
for instance?

Your mentor? What do you mean by that?

If you were so gung ho about security that you wanted bleeding edge
bind even newer than current centos 5 why are you so out of date on
your openssl libraries. Given that you are out of date on those as per
your previous posts would the currently released bind on rhel5 iff it
was already on c5 really have been installed? If you were that
desperate you could have built the srpms yourself.... or taken 9.7
from c5-testing.

You have posted the same rubbish over and over without any
substantiation with wild allegations.

Post details if you need help or just please stop ranting to no point.
