Thanks Roger. <div><br></div><div>I will be trying this box to see what I can do. Otherwise, I'd probably have to find a list of all of the Rogers (The ISP providing internet to these boxes) IPs to at least limit the attacks to Rogers ISP.</div>
<div><br></div><div>hmmm....</div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div>Or maybe secure is using DNS like this: sdlfjdsfJ#@$523k4j98sd7fkjh324#@$<a href="http://832.dyndns.org">832.dyndns.org</a></div><div><br></div><div>
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^isn't that a security feature in itself?</div><div><br></div><div>Thanks<br><div><br></div><div><br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Sat, Oct 2, 2010 at 4:32 PM, Roger Burton West <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:roger@firedrake.org">roger@firedrake.org</a>></span> wrote:<br>

</div>Yes. An IP datagram carries only the source and destination IP<br>
addresses, not the DNS names associated with them. Your firewall _may_<br>
be able to accept a DNS name to block or allow rather than an IP<br>
address, but most don't, and doing so makes you vulnerable to DNS<br>
spoofing attacks.<br>
<br>
To go further would be thoroughly off-topic for this list.<br>
