Patch to 3.0.5 to disable VERSION.BIND responses

NSD
1

Hi,

I have attached a patch to NSD 3.0.5 that will refuse responses to the Chaos queries VERSION.BIND and VERSION.SERVER. It adds an nsd.conf variable version-bind which defaults to yes meaning it will respond. Setting the variable to no will cause NSD to refuse the request.

I would like to request that this patch be added into the mainstream code so I don't have to patch future versions. I hope this will be of use to other users as well.

Thanks for submitting your patch.
We'll take this into consideration for inclusion.
