  If you don't need DNS If you don't need DNS, then why would you keep it in place? As an example, I have a system that needs to contact exactly 2 hosts (one of which hosts package updates). So it has DNS turned off and I have a local hosts config. It seems like using a exploit announcement as an opportunity to review whether you need the service in question at all is actually good server administration.
