The problem is that the poisoning could happen any on the upstream DNS
servers from where the request happens. finding which one needs patching is
a major pain. However, the problem with octave.org seems to be pretty
widespread so the first once to check that it is correctly patch is the one
serving octave.org. The caches of the downstream servers will eventually be
flushed and fix the issues.

I'm just surprised that I haven't heard of a lot of other sites suffering
these type of problems recently.
