description = [[
Checks a DNS server for the predictable-port recursion vulnerability.
Predictable source ports can make a DNS server vulnerable to cache poisoning
attacks (see CVE-2008-1447).

The script works by querying porttest.dns-oarc.net (see
https://www.dns-oarc.net/oarc/services/porttest).  Be aware that any
targets against which this script is run will be sent to and
potentially recorded by one or more DNS servers and the porttest
server. In addition your IP address will be sent along with the
porttest query to the DNS server running on the target.

-- and have no plans to ever turn the service off.
-- The likely long-term availability makes this script a good candidate
