Re: how to protect name servers against cache corruption

To respond to your upgrade to bind-4.9.6 or 8.1.1,  I would go with
4.9.6 because I know of many bugs left in 8.1.1 that can harm a Name
Server.  When I get more information on this,  I will release it to the
list.

One of the many bugs in it involves CNAME.  I will talk to the person
who released this information to me and get back to the list.
