To (hopefully) quell some potential panic ... ;)

DNS cache poisoning is mainly a problem for those running Windows DNS servers. Any 'Nix DNS server that is running BIND v.9 or patched BIND v.4-v.8 is in good shape. While it's true that a badly configured BIND9 server has a couple of potentially complex attack vectors, the script kiddie vectors are closed by default.

I refer you to an article on the history and current status of DNS cache poisoning at lurhq.com [lurhq.com] and one from the SANS Internet Storm Center [isc.sans.org].
