Recently my employers started to have random porn images appearing
on WWW browsers.  I concluded that the cache was corrupt and the 
best course of action was to dump the cache server.  I read the 
announcement from the DOE and suspect we were victims of a cache 
poisoning attack.  Does anyone have any good info regarding such an
attack?
