Hello all, 

I recently configured  DNS servers on our two GB-1000 boxes. One of your ISP's had 
been doing the DNS hosting for us. Now, we are doing our own DNS hosting with the 
GB-1000 boxes.  

Below are three examples of packets that are being sent to the GB-1000. I have no idea 
why we're getting them.  In every case, the source port is 53 and the destination port 
is 1585. Doing a reverse IP address lookup reveals these messages are coming from root 
servers.  And we get a lot of these messages.  

Can anybody tell me what it means?  

Thanks in advance.


IP PACKET: UDP  [192.41.162.30/53]-->[x.x.x.x/1585]  l=282
                                l.gtld-servers.net

IP PACKET: UDP  [192.35.51.30/53]-->[x.x.x.x/1585]  l=284
                                f.gtld-servers.net

IP PACKET: UDP  [202.12.27.33/53]-->[x.x.x.x/1585]  l=96
                                 m.root-servers.net
