[cobalt-users] RE: Blocking Bad Win2k DNS Servers



>Jan 20 01:01:20 www named[418]: denied update from
[66.32.67.40].1825 for "MyDomain.com"

[66.32.67.40] reverses to an Earthlink DSL setup
(dsl.mindspring.com). I don't think a rouge W2k box is
your problem. Are you running DNS on your Cobalt -and-
are the DNS entries for "MyDomain.com" setup
correctly?

>Can it be done with hosts.deny somehow?

No -see below.

>Will I need to add an entry for named in 
>my inetd.conf?

The inetd.conf file controls TCP wrappers for inet
services (FTP/POP/IMAP/TELNET) which has nothing to do
with NAMED/BIND/DNS services. I wouldn't recommend
trying it.

If you really want to block the IP, as root:

/sbin/route add -host 66.32.67.40 reject
