I've been getting errors like the ones below, well, for as long as
I can remember:

Jan 25 16:27:43 myhost /kernel: Connection attempt to UDP 10.0.0.1:2663 from 10.1.0.1:53
Jan 25 16:27:43 myhost /kernel: Connection attempt to UDP 10.0.0.1:2683 from 10.1.0.1:53
Jan 25 16:28:53 myhost /kernel: Connection attempt to UDP 10.0.0.1:2705 from 10.0.0.1:53
Jan 25 16:28:53 myhost /kernel: Connection attempt to UDP 10.0.0.1:2707 from 10.0.0.1:53
Jan 25 16:28:53 myhost /kernel: Connection attempt to UDP 10.0.0.1:2716 from 10.0.0.1:53
Jan 25 16:28:53 myhost /kernel: Connection attempt to UDP 10.0.0.1:2737 from 10.0.0.1:53
Jan 25 16:28:58 myhost /kernel: Connection attempt to UDP 10.0.0.1:2706 from 10.1.0.1:53
Jan 25 16:28:58 myhost /kernel: Connection attempt to UDP 10.0.0.1:2708 from 10.1.0.1:53
Jan 25 16:28:58 myhost /kernel: Connection attempt to UDP 10.0.0.1:2734 from 10.1.0.1:53
Jan 25 16:28:58 myhost /kernel: Connection attempt to UDP 10.0.0.1:2751 from 10.1.0.1:53

myhost == 10.0.0.1, which is a nameserver.  10.1.0.1 is also a
nameserver.   They are they two nameservers listed in /etc/resolv.conf.

Any ideas why these would occur so often?  I get them all day,
every day.  Long ago I assumed they were caused by any number of
programs running on the box that might ask for a DNS query, but
then timeout/quit before the reponse was returned.  I can't see
any other programs having problems resolving names, or erroring
out on a frequent basis.  

Any theories or other things I should look at?  While searching
for last night's attacks this finally annoyed me enough to do
something about it.
