This has been out for a while. This will be a fun exploit to test out on reseller hosts who don't know how to upgrade bind. :)

Attacking someone is never fun. There are hosts on here who work their butts off trying to make a living and making their sites unreachable becuase it is "fun" is despicable.

Why would you call attempting to destroy a persons business fun?
