The internal search function is temporarily non-functional. The current search engine is no longer viable and we are researching alternatives.
As a stop gap measure, we are using Google's custom search engine service.
If you know of an easy to use, open source, search engine ... please contact support@midrange.com.
It was a big problem for us. When we were using IBM security their scans
had a huge conniption over the obsolete BIND of DNS on IBM i. There was
no way IBM could be bothered to drill further down into it and see if the
actual CVE's they were concerned about with the older BIND were addressed
by other means than by upgrading the BIND. In their defense some of these
tests would have had to be so exhaustive that they could have actually
been construed as a DOS attack. And the IBM i people were only going to
upgrade DNS BIND levels at a release upgrade and not at any cume, group,
TR, etc.
I just got tired of fighting that battle. I tried opening PMR's, RFE's
etc but I was beaten down at every attempt.
We used to run DNS, on DMZ servers as a backup to our other external DNSs.
It has since been removed. I only have it left on a few hosting lpars to
support NSLOOKUP, etc. I tried submitting a RFE to get nslookup unbundled
from the DNS option of IBM i but that was beaten down also.
