Like the other guy said, p7 is the "ok" one now. I can't elaborate,
because I can't provide proof. We've only ever done forensics on them,
we've never had sniffers in place beforehand to see it done. It's just a
strong assumption that I'll believe. Lots of rumors and blah blah.. I just
know from history, and present, that bind leads to problems in my
experience, even "properly configured" ones. Wish I could tell you more,
something you could base it off of.
