Yup, running your own local DNS cache is almost always better than the ISP-supplied resolvers. Note: I used to run DJB's software a lot, back in the '90s especially, when there was no secure alternative. But nowadays there's no point in doing that. Bind has cleaned up their act, it's secure and usable enough nowadays.

And the evidence you have for this is what? 2008 was not a great year in the history of BIND security.

  The publicity around your 'leak' didn't help much :)

    Something tells me that bug was going to get some publicity regardless of what happened the week before Black Hat.

      Yes, but you started a particularly lulzy ball rolling.

        Nice of you to notice.
