Search Again: Re: Specifying ports with QDNS From: Jeff Folk Date: Saturday, August 18, 2001 Time: 4:32:14 pm Robert; DNS, as far as I know, has no vehicle for specifying the port of the host. The port has to be specified in the URL of the request. The well known ones are just assumed for our benefit [http-80, ftp-21, dns-53, etc.] If you bought internet service with the purpose of having servers available on the internet, I would tell your ISP that this is grounds for non-payment of your account. Maybe then they will spend more time getting those idiots running IIS to fix their machines instead of blocking access. In my corner of the internet I have only logged 856 attacks since 8/1/2001, and counting... Anti-flame note: By idiots, I don't mean ALL IIS users are idiots, just those with systems that are easily compromised. ;-) Jeff on 8/18/01 5:12 PM, Robert Gardner wisely articulated: > New to list, never thought I needed it until now.... > > My ISP has blocked port 80 and 1080 access because of Code Red outbreak (I'm > sure others are in the same boat).
