I wonder if it is TNOS which is generating these. I'm not that
familiar with it, but in other *NOS there is a domain addserver
statement in autoexec.nos which lists the DNS which is used (which has
absolutely nothing to do with the way the Linux host is configured).
Do these IPs possibly show up there? What routing does TNOS have for
them (RF or via the pseudo-slip link to the kernel?)
