Please put a strong rate limit on the dns server to prevent it from being used for ddos attacks.

The last thing the internet needs is more clueless users with dns servers.



Hi,

Mail-in-a-Box uses 'nsd', which is a non-recursive DNS server. I don't think it can be used to relay DNS queries in a DDOS attack. But if you meant something else, please let me know and/or file a ticket (I don't think I'll be looking here for replies).

That belongs in a Github issue ticket, not a comment on HN.
