Subject: Port 53?

Hello All,

I recently set up a second Linux box running TNOS and have them
connected
with ethernet cards. I have established an AXIP link between the two
TNOS
and all appears to work fine. PC2 uses PC1 as its default route. I have
noticed that the Linux side of PC2 is sending out UDP frames to various
addresses for port 53. This appears to be a waste of bandwidth on my RF
link to my gateway and the Linux side of PC1 does not send these frames.

Just what is port 53 and why does my second Linux box want to send
frames
to addresses using this port number.

Also, how can I turn it off?


73 for now de Paul.
