Waking up at 2AM after falling asleep at work on a Friday evening, to be greeted by a wall full of router racks lit up like a wall-shaped christmas tree is a sobering experience indeed. Needless to say I've been working since then to apply appropriate firewall rules accross our network to block port 1434. Once this blows over, it's time to start some real PostgreSQL advocacy..
No, once this blows over it's time to apply the fucking patch. It's been available for six months mind you.
The patch does not affect routers stupid. Just because his routers are all lit up with massive amounts of traffic, does not mean that his servers are unpatched!
My link was down for 4 hours from the flooding with everything all lit up, and I'm not even running an SQL server.
