The lookups show they are NSLs or root.servers, but not MY nameservers. Many are on port 1024, but not always (some on the samba ports). Also, some try to go out on port 53, but not to MY nameservers.... Since it looks like the requests are coming from my machines, they look harmless & wonder if I need the requests, and what could be asking for the info. Does anyone know what these are for...??? ...or what is asking for the info? Best regards, Jack L.
