Has anyone recently had an Ultra DNS rep try and market managed DNS
services to them? I have a document in front of me which contains a
lot of content I find objectionable, such as:

"INSERT COMPANY NAME is currently utilizing BIND software to power its
DNS servers.  BIND has a history of security problems such as
hijacking, spoofing, viruses, etc.  By developing UltraDNS proprietary
technology not based on BIND, UltraDNS' DNS scientists solved the
limitations and problems inherent in the BIND implementation."

...and also:

"INSERT COMPANY NAME generates a substantial amount a revenue a year
utilizing a BIND based DNS solution.  The SANS institute reports that
BIND is one of the top security vulnerabilities on the web today."

I understand marketing a DNS service must be tricky, but honestly is
there really any need to bulk up a proposal with this sort of rubbish?
