iptables all set up and working. 164k dodgy incoming DNS requests dropped in the space of a minute. load on server minimal.

All appears as good as new again now anyway! Happy to help out (general server admin, DNS/HTTP/etc.) in future, if needs be.

There was a firewall/iptables, but it was configured to allow all DNS requests. Now limits to 5 per second from a single address.meinster wrote:limecat wrote:iptables all set up and working. 164k dodgy incoming DNS requests dropped in the space of a minute. load on server minimal.(@ DNS being hosted there at all, that there was no firewall/iptables already, and at that number of connections).

May move the DNS elsewhere. Have been testing some stuff out.
Over 8M packets have been dropped by the firewall since my last post.
