Test your website: http://recursive.iana.org/

Test your computer: http://www.doxpara.com/

(if your pc is vulnerable, an easy fix is to use opendns' servers: http://opendns.com )

 

Disable recursion for your server: http://www.webhostgear.com/321.html

If your host hasn't disabled recursion yet, you may want to suggest they do.
