RE: DNS Attacks

As I understand the issue. The issue is one of being able to poison the DNS
app on the DNS server. There's not really much the casual user can do, aside
from switching to another DNS/IP address that's safe. But the rub is, do you
really know if the DNS/IP you're switching to is safe!

The best approach, would probably be a system to allow you to poll a few DNS
servers, and to take the returned ip address that comes back from the most
of them as the "correct" ip address!! but this isn't implemented anywhere as
far as i know....

peace..

I guess there era a lot of abnormal users on this list them. And it
is a concern even if you do not run a name server, because you could
find yourself going to a web site other then the one you wanted.
