What I can't figure out is why somebody would let ports 67 and 68 in or out
of their firewall in the first place. Granted, if one box is compromised
then your DHCP can get attacked by proxy, but I think at that point you've
got worse things to worry about than NSUPDATE messages.

I use DHCP, but DDNS is downright evil, as far as I'm concerned, so I'm
very
happy to note that disabling nsupdate leaves me unaffected. :-)
