Without being aware of what your disclosure policies are, I'll go ahead
and ask...  what are the flaws, and are they also in 8.2.2-p7?

I don't see anything at:

http://www.isc.org/products/BIND/bind-security.html

that mentions p7.  Sure, I could diff a bunch of stuff...

Sorry to bring this to NANOG, but it's a bit more appropriate than gabbing
about what a root server is.  Also, note that Bugtraq is gone until
Monday, so there'll be no talk of this there.

Thanks,

Charles
