Open DNS

The default configuration of many domain name servers (DNS) can leave you vulnerable to cache spoofing attacks and allow spammers to steal resources from your servers. To protect against these attacks, it is strongly recommended that any name server exposed to the Internet be configured to act non-recursively for all but trusted networks. These links can help you close recursive DNS and fix the problem.
