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.
