An attacker with the ability to conduct a successful cache poisoning
attack
can cause a nameserver's clients to contact the incorrect, and possibly
malicious, hosts for particular services. Consequently, web traffic,
email,
and other important network data can be redirected to systems under the
attacker's control.

BTW, I was directed to the above site by the following Murdoch
publication, so I'm reasonably confident that it's safe ;-)
