[H-GEN] interesting routing

[Michael Anthon]

(Note reply-to: being general at humbug.org.au vs Michael Anthon <mca at tams.com.au>)

I think the issue (from my perspective at least) is that someone elses DNS
is giving a response to something that they should not give a response
to....  How that request ever actually gets there in the first place I have
no idea.  I would have thought that the top level server would ignore (or at
least return an error) for any addresses in the defined range of private
addresses.

This is annoying since I am seeing my local address space resolve to
something owned by someone else.  Is there a way to tell BIND not to forward
requests for certain address spaces (I suppose I could add an authoritative
zone for the space in question, but I would rather it just did what it used
to do, which is NOT to resolve those addresses at all).  Surely this name
server should not be answering requests for this address space anyway ??

Cheers
