No, you can run IP over DNS using any resolver. Also yours.<br>
<br>
Yes, they need a server for the remote end. But your resolver will be<br>
the one talking to it, just like it queries any other autoritative<br>
server on behalf of the client.<br>
<br>
Typically something you do for fun. Not for normal use. But I guess it<br>
could be in use by those who need a reliable communication channel<br>
inside any "isolated" environment. DNS tends to be availble even where<br>
nothing else is.<br></blockquote><div>I see. thanx for clarifying.<br></div><div> <br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex">

FWIW I agree with the rate-limit recommendation. It solves both this<br>
and your original problem without any complicated and messy tracking.<br>
Just make DNS "free" up to some reasonable query rate. If there are<br>
clients with higher legitimate needs, then you could consider creating<br>
separate rate-limit classes for those clients. And even charge extra<br>
for that, if it's important.<br></blockquote><div> Does such DNS traffic has different characteristics from the normal
one? Perhaps, apart from limiting, I could block such traffic with the packet size or
similar. <br></div><div><br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex">
