Turn on diagnostic logging. The log will tell
you more than just the event logs do. Look for the message in the logs and
you will see the actual offending domain listed.
I've had several of these. One was for a domain I
had registered but no longer ran. Root servers still pointed to me and I
had quit running DNS because they quit paying me. I readded this to my DNS
and pointed it to a dummy IP address and all was well.

DNS
I know this is an off topic question, but I figure with the
amount of people familiar with DNS on this list, this was the best place to
start.
I've been getting this repeated error message in the Event
Viewer:
2/17/00 8:44:27 PM Dns Error None 7062 N/A NS
DNS
Server encountered a packet addressed to itself -- IP address 63.225.64.50.
The DNS server should never be sending a packet to itself. This
situation usually indicates a configuration error. Check the following areas
for possible self-send configuration errors: 1)
Forwarders list. (DNS servers should not forward to
themselves). 2) Master lists of secondary
zones. 3) Notify lists of primary
zones. 4) Delegations of subzones. Must not
contain NS record for DNS server
Example: -> This DNS server dns1.foo.com is the
primary for the zone foo.com. -> You have delegated
the zone bar.foo.com to bardns.bar.foo.com.
and are NOT running the
bar.foo.com zone on this DNS (dns1.foo.com). ->
bar.foo.com MUST NOT have an NS record that points at
dns1.foo.com. Note, you should make this check
(with nslookup or DNS manager) both on this DNS server
and on the server(s) you delegated the subzone to. It
is possible that the delegation was done correctly, but that the
primary DNS for the subzone, has any incorrect NS
record pointing back at this server. If this incorrect
NS record is cached at this server, then the self-send
could result. If found, the subzone DNS server admin should remove
the offending NS record.

I
am running Windows NT server 4.0 Service Pack 4, Microsoft DNS. I thought I
had configured the DNS correctly but I am not sure what I did wrong. If
any one can tell by the error message what I am doing wrong I would greatly
appreciate it. Thanks in advance.
