[Dnsmasq-discuss] dnsmasq issue discuss

[Simon Kelley]

Unless I've misunderstood, this is complicated method to configure two 
BIND instances and a dnsmasq instance to send the same query many times 
to another BIND instance. Exactly the same effect can be achieved with a 
simple loop to send the same packet repeatedly to a BIND instance. If 
BIND thereby crashes, that's a BIND problem, not a dnsmasq one.

The suggested mitigation is already implemented in dnsmasq, see the
--dns-loop-detect option.

Cheers,

Simon.
