DNS Server Update 2008-08-01 8:00PM EST

All,
    I just received this maintenance notice from OIT, and wanted to give 
you a heads up. Tomorrow evening (2008-08-01 8:00PM) OIT engineers will 
be upgrading the OIT DNS servers to BIND 9 in response to the DNS 
exploit brought to light earlier this month. During this process  they 
will be configuring the servers to only respond to requests coming from 
inside the state ip range. The OIT DNS servers, and the OPLIN DNS 
servers, are one in the same, so this effects you if you are using any 
of the servers listed below. Coming from inside the OPLIN range, you 
won't have any issues, but for anyone using an outside connection (such 
as a cable modem coming into the library, or simply using these servers 
for your home network) the DNS servers will no longer respond. As far as 
I know, they will only be upgrading one server tomorrow, so as long as 
you have a secondary defined, nothing should break, but assuming that it 
goes smoothly, the other servers won't be far behind. I've attached a 
pdf copy of the message to this email.
