We are a small broadband ISP. We have one customer that
could not get DNS to resolve. We found that he was using a
DNS server in China/Taiwan, 168.95.192.1 (hntp1.hinet.net)
We have our own DNS servers and this router had our DNS
in its DNS field.
The reason he failed is that the above DNS failed for several
hours yesterday. We checked our server logs and found that
he has been using this DNS since early July. He is behind a
DI-604 router. As it turns out, the router redirects any request
on port 53 to this hntp1.hinet.net Today we replaced the router
and it's all back to normal, all DNS requests are going to our server.
We also checked the settings in the DI-604, they are correct.
In fact, if we use the DI-604's internal ping test, it uses our DNS.
Is it possible to hack a router?? Anyone heard of this?
Thanks,
