I have a new ISP (epbfi.com?). They have their own DNS servers:
66.18.32.2 (p)
66.18.32.3 (s)
My router is a DLink DGL4500; so I set it to point to the ISP's DNS servers.
I am trying to figure out why my router is being hammered by another
server of my ISP. I say hammered because my router's log file fills up
with [info] listings of blocked requests from another ISP server to my
assigned IP addy. The server is:
host-68-169-188-189.mapoltl.epb.com
Yes, I could just deselect [info] objects from my router's log file.
I've spoken to the tech support staff. They tell me I am getting
"reverse DNS routing" stuff. I was told to remove my router's dedicated
DNS assigns and set my router to "dynamic." I think I have done this.
Now my router shows the following up-stream ATT DNS servers:
204.194.234.200 (p)
204.194.232.200 (s)
Little help. I am still hammered by a local ISP server. It looks like it
is scanning every port of the router's SPI Firewall. Very strange new
game for me!
If I could find the "Block This IP Addy" part of my router's f/w, I
would just block this server's addy. I have not found this feature
yet......... :)
Suggestions, opinions, knowledge welcome!
Best,
Duncan
