Name server ns2.inmotionhosting.com (70.39.150.2) is recursive.
The name server answers recursive queries for 3rd parties (such as DNSCheck). By making a recursive query to a name server that provides recursion, an attacker can cause a name server to look up and cache information contained in zones under their control. Thus the victim name server is made to query the attackers malicious name servers, resulting in the victim caching and serving bogus data.
This is a cut and paste from pingdom. What does this all mean and why is this bad?
