icmp problem

[James A Griffin]

Hasan's problem was not really BIND related and was dealt with via
private email. Kevin's insights seem to be on the mark (as usual) as
Hasan reported:

   I found reason of unwanted icmp packets on another point.
   It is related to network settings of HP-UX machine. 
   and i use the following to solve the problem: 

   # ndd -set /dev/ip ip_send_source_quench 0

Jim
