That looks like a 1918 issue to me... Lets be clear about the difference between a DNS query for 1918 space and a DNS query sources from 1918 space which can never be returned too. Yes I'm sure it is annoying, but the questions are: How much EXTRA load does it really place on the rootservers? Is it really so much load that you can't just chalk it up to a normal part of the service being provided? Or to put it another way: How much computing power would I need to buy you so that I never have to hear complaints about queries from 1918 space on a mailing list again? :) -- Richard A Steenbergen <[email protected]> http://www.e-gerbil.net/ras GPG Key ID: 0xF8B12CBC (7535 7F59 8204 ED1F CC1C 53AF 4C41 5ECA F8B1 2CBC)
