+
+Rebinding protection
+--------------------
+
+This module provides protection from `DNS Rebinding attack`_ by blocking
+answers which cointain IPv4_ or IPv6_ addresses for private use
+(or some other special-use addresses).
+
+To enable this module insert following line into your configuration file:
+
+.. code-block:: lua
+
+  modules.load('rebinding < iterate')
+
+Please note that this module does not offer stable configuration interface
+yet. For this reason it is suitable mainly for public resolver operators
+who do not need to whitelist certain subnets.
+
+.. warning:: Some like to "misuse" such addresses, e.g. `127.*.*.*`
+  in blacklists served over DNS, and this module will block such uses.
