Hmmm, I'm wondering if this is what I'm seeing with my DNS server these days.....seems like an awful lot of traffic is going through it. Am I correct in assuming that recursion can be blocked with the new version so that only simple queries are answered? Our DNS server is used not only on our network, but also by many of our users at home, so I can't restrict DNS to just our network. I'll look into upgrading the server to OSX and getting a newer version of QDNS. Is it possible to simply transfer the data files from my old version to the new server, or will I have recreate everything in the OSX version? Thanks again!
