Looks like your isp DHCP server is sending generic DNS broadcast to
your FBSD box. If you have an DSL or cable  connection to your ISP
you should allow this packet through your ipfw firewall.

Subject: Entry in /var/log/security

I'm seeing a few of these in my security log:

Jun 19 20:45:48 john /kernel: ipfw: 1300 Deny UDP 198.144.206.1:56238
255.255.255.255:53 in via de1
Any idea what this may be about.  The source address is that of my default
route.
