;; ANSWER SECTION:
VERSION.BIND. 0S CHAOS TXT "deceptive version name"
okay -- i'm using the 'deception approach' to the security-rife
'bind' (according to posts i've seen here):
// in /etc/bind/named.conf (that's where slink put it, and
// potato still seems to work from there)...
options {
version "something as unlike 'BIND' as i can get";
};
