Our DNS resolvers have already been patched against this flaw.

This vulnerability applies to DNS resolvers. If your server is using 66.7.207.2 (or anything else on our network) as a resolver, you have nothing to worry about. The server itself is an authoritative name server, rather than a resolver so it is not vulnerable to this type of attack.

What I am wondering is the difference between this flaw, and what already existed: Pharming
