Vanilla djbdns 1.05 manages a counter called ‘loop’ (look for ‘z->loop’ in the code); if this counter hits 100, it simply aborts the current query. This is similar to the fixes now present in PowerDNS, BIND and Unbound.
Breakpoint 4, doit (z=0x611660 <u>, state=1) at query.c:452
452 if (++z->loop == 100) goto DIE;
1: z->loop = 99
(gdb) cont
Continuing.
It then logs 'drop 1 input/output error’ and aborts resolution of this query. Note that it actually drops the query, the client will eventually timeout; PowerDNS Recursor sends a SERVFAIL, and I presume so do BIND and Unbound.
Kind regards,
