hi,

is this your mgmt-server? it tries reverse-lookups of the IPs.

or do you have a domain-object in your policy? than your firewall tries to
check DNS every time it sees a new IP-address ...

Hi,

I've only recently installed a Firewall1 server on our network and am
worried about the excessive amount of DNS traffic going between my FW
and the internal DNS server. I only noticed this yesterday while
recovering from a SQL slammer attack which was launched from one of our
users laptops inside our network (user had just come back from holiday
and must have picked up a virus..) I'm now feeling a bit paranoid and
have noticed all this DNS traffic which wasn't as heavy last week.

Any ideas?

Thanks,

Will.
