Hi,

	I'm running a secondary DNS for my domain which is 
hosted by Granitecanyon. The idea was that whenever the two
main DNS servers are unavailable that mine will be used so
I don't get cut off from the world completely.

	Every time I send a e-mail to the questions mail list,
it would seem that every mail server that receives that e-mail
queries my puny DNS server. Practically DOSsing it, well
maybe not quite.

	Normally I don't see much DNS traffic if any at all
because the main servers is far better connected and capable.

	What then causes my DNS to be queried when I send an 
e-mail to the list? Any ideas?

Regards
Willem Brown
