Or perhaps not overlook, but came to a different conclusion than you. DNS
load, DDoS, and security have been regular topics of discussion for the year
I've been on this list. I think it's something we need to watch, but not
the potential disaster that you forsee.
I'm sure the problem is my twisted sense of logic ;)
Why don't you Scott, explain to us the worst possible scenario that
_you_ can imagine for a virus that wants to do the most damage to the
Internet by using SPF.
I said "damage to the Internet" on purpose, because the DNS is the
mission-critical Internet protocol without which the 'Net' would just be
a bunch of computers tied together with a wire. But perhaps I'm wrong
about this too.
Thanks.
