The last sentence refers to Figure 4-2, however 4-2 obviously cannot the correct figure, based on the textual descripion of what the figure should show. I am not sure which figure would be correct, if any.

I think that there needs to be an updated treatment of the problem of DNS cache
poisoning on W2kS and W2k3S, when MS DNS is set up to use DNS forwarders.

Even when MS DNS Servers have been configured for "Secured DNS," to prevent cache
poisoning, there is still a major problem when MS DNS is set up to use forwarders and
receives a cache-poisoned response back from the responding DNS server. It seems
that when MS DNS is set up to use forwarding, it will blindly accept cache-poisoned
responses. This is a huge problem when the forwarder is not, or cannot be configured
(which seems to be the case with BIND4 and BIND8), to sanitize against cache
poisoning.

Note from the Author or Editor:
We'll address this in the next edition.
