Well, good, because I'd hate to think the current state of patches are the
best we can do.
On Windows, we have an over-full netstat display, because DNS reserves 2500
ports; some services that haven't set the ReservedPorts registry key find
that their ports are sometimes (randomly) blocked by DNS reserving those
ports first.
On Linux, or other platforms using BIND, we have UDP-based daemons receiving
DNS responses on a random basis, because the DNS server accidentally picks
their port to send from.
"needs a little work" is a good description.
Alun.

By the sound of things it's probably better NOT to apply these patches to
internal, non-internet-facing DNS servers, as if I read correctly they could
randomly interfere with other unrelated functions of the server.
Would you agree?
