Hi All,

I have a customer with an 8.6(2) subscriber spamming our Primary and secondary DNS servers with PTR lookups for what appear to be IP phone addresses. This traffic accounts for 40% of the inbound DNS requests in the enterprise.

Symptoms:

-Dozens of PTR record requests every second of everyday continuously.
-Primary DNS Server is now returning intermittent server failures
-Only a single subscriber with the issue even though others have phones registered, while this one does not -Only 2 IP Phones registered to that particular subscriber (although it is a backup for several thousand) -The outbound DNS request not seem to be corresponding to any particular inbound request -Checked CLI logs (to validate no CLI command require reverse DNS lookup was being run such as "show network status")-
-Nothing in CiscoSyslog or messages log of particular note
-Server has a 24 bit subnet mask, IP phones are in another subnet.

Anyone seen this before? This sounds all too familiar, but I am having a difficult time pinpointing it.

Thanks,
