In my message file I get a lot of these messages: Mar 9 20:12:40 fw /kernel: Connection attempt to UDP 213.64.164.27:1346 from 10.0.0.1:53 Mar 9 20:12:44 fw /kernel: Connection attempt to UDP 213.64.164.27:1347 from 10.0.0.2:53 My IPFW is set up to allow UDP port 53 both in and out. As it is logged in vain, trying to connect to a port that is not open, then no program or daemon has made a query. Am I correct? And if this is the case, why are the DNS trying to connect to me for no reason? Thanks in advance for an answer!
