Hi all,

I'm wondering about the pitfalls of open D.N.S. servers and D.N.S. security 
generally.
Would it make sense, and be possible to offer (free) accounts to people that 
apply for this service?

Maybe we need open D.N.S. servers, but is there a place for account holder 
only servers?

People on the move and with dynamic addresses wouldn't be so easy to serve 
but the home desktop and routers on static I.P.s might like the added 
security. 

If this was done, when people sign up for an account, they can subscribe to a 
newsletter or mailing list keeping them up to date with any maintenance or 
changes to the server.

If account holder only recursion is done, and the server is more secure it 
might make the service more desirable to use?

I'm guessing there's a simple way to restrict I.P. addresses in the BIND 
config file to allow account holders to access the D.N.S. server?

Sorry if this has been covered before.

Peter
