You call the long-known and well-publisized attack against servers not
running current versions of essential system software elegant?
People, the net is not falling apart because Kashpureff knows how to fake a
glue record; people who don't keep up with the security of their systems
are (of course) having their security compromised.
This is not an operational issue; this is a sysadmin-being-lazy issue.
Please take it off NANOG.
