Hi Dan,
Did you manage to get in touch with anyone? If not, I can attempt to broadc=
ast to the Dell Networking group internally. There should be Sonicwall peop=
le on there that can help.

Subject: Paging someone at SonicWall/Dell
All,
If anyone has any contacts at Dell/SonicWall that can assist, their latest =
firewalls have a misfeature that have started blocking F-root (ISC, my
Day-job) as a possible botnet responder.
You can reach me, 24/7, at 703-338-2497, or at dmahoney@isc.org.
Needless to say, this is seriously bad. As we ourselves are not Sonicwall u=
sers, our options here are limited.
I've gotten their usual call center nonsense where they told me "I need to =
contact my system administrator" and wouldn't transfer me further.
I've submitted a "removal" request via the form at http://botnet.global.son=
icwall.com/change, but that still doesn't help if there's a firmware out th=
ere doing broken hueristics and mass-DDOSing folks.
If for some reason there actually IS some botnet-related traffic going on t=
oward the root servers (the root servers get a LOT of garbage, so this does=
n't surprise me), we'd like to know that too.
