Based on the CERT Advisory, it would seem to me that one is only
vulnerable if dynamic dns updates are enabled. If they're off, I would
have to think dhcpd doesn't try log any replies from nameservers. None of
the advisories I've read mention anything about this. I'd definitely
like to know if I'm wrong. ;)
