I have ipf running, looking at ipfstat -t. Now I flood ping my box
from another machine and I see screen fulls of outgoing DNS requests. They
just keep going following something resembling a root function to a peak
of around 40 or so open requests per second. Why is my machine constantly
looking up the same IP address over and over again and not hitting a
cache? This doesn't look too hard to turn into a DoS with enough machines.
Am I missing something here? Shouldn't the resolver have cached the
IP<->hostname pair by now?
