I realize I'm dragging this on, and I apologize, but:

It's totally valid to report a problem that affects the operations
community without providing a fix. Knowledge of the fact that a problem
exists is valuable, even without a cookbook resolution.

In this case, a few people (some not on this list) would like the
operations community to realize that there are, in fact, some very doable
attacks that remain unaddressed by BIND 8.1.1.
