We had the same type of problem on our server. It turns out that sprint was having problems with there DNS servers. Forcing them to make some changes to them. To make this short. The bottom line is. We had to enable recursive lookups on our DNS server and take out forwards that pointed to Sprint. This fixed the problem and now i never see anything in the overflow. I am not sure if you are having the same problem, but it's worth a look. Steve
