The tool may be run in one of two modes, either +daemon mode or "bindsnap" mode. In daemon mode, the tool will alarm via syslog. +In bindsnap mode, the user is able to get near-real-time stats on usage to aid +in more detailed troubleshooting. + +A /etc/rc.d/rc.dnsflood daemon control script is aditionally included. |
