You call the long-known and well-publisized attack against servers not running current versions of essential system software elegant? People, the net is not falling apart because Kashpureff knows how to fake a glue record; people who don't keep up with the security of their systems are (of course) having their security compromised. This is not an operational issue; this is a sysadmin-being-lazy issue. Please take it off NANOG.
