> In advanced zones with Security Groups and probably Basic Zones, too, the VR opens the DNS service to everyone (-j ACCEPT).
> As a result Cloudstack VRs are currently used in DNS reflection or amplification attacks.
> There is some discussion about this in https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CLOUDSTACK-6432
> This PR tries to rectify the problem:
> https://github.com/apache/cloudstack/pull/1653
