Hi,

HamWAN has been used as a DNS amplifier in a DDoS attack.  I'm tied up 
with acquiring some chip fab gear the next couple days (yay!). Can I ask 
you guys with net ops access to go through the whole network and disable 
DNS service everywhere?  Example of problem:

eo at jo ~ $ dig @44.24.240.133 google.com. A +recurse

; <<>> DiG 9.9.2 <<>> @44.24.240.133 google.com. A +recurse
; (1 server found)
;; global options: +cmd

PS: We gotta get some automation up in here for config control.
