The problem described here affects HEAD and RELENG_6.
>Description:
The current default configuration of BIND (named.conf)
blocks the network 192.18/15. This network belongs
to Sun Microsystems Inc., Medical Research Council and
Agere Systems Inc.
The comment in the file claims that the network block
is reserved for router benchmark testing in accordance
with RFC 2544. However, there's a typo in that RFC
which has been corrected in an erratum:
http://www.rfc-editor.org/cgi-bin/errataSearch.pl?rfc=2544
So the correct network block is 198.18/15. The correct
network block is also mentioned in RFC 3330:
http://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc3330.txt
The error in the default named.conf file should be
corrected ASAP. As it stands now, the 192.18/15 network
which belongs to Sun and others is locked out by default
on FreeBSD machines!
