My problem was corrected when I updated to the latest slew of updates and also replaced the secure kernel with the latest version. have not seen that problem since then.
Lyvim; How ya doin' Buddy? I found another way to fix the problem. Can you say Bastille? Killed Shorewall, copied over my Bastille files, ran the command and voila! No more shorewall data on my console, and the firewall is running fine (actually runs a bit faster)!
Also, is there a "Bind" Guru here somewhere? I can't get "rndc" to behave itself. It keeps giving me an error that states -
"rndc: connect failed: connection refused"
Even though Bind seems to start up without errors, and even though port 53 is open on my firewall for DNS authentication, port scans keep stating that the port is closed.
You're running shorewall on the firewall, correct? ;) I've been encountering the same problems with both qmail and bind.

RNDC problem is still happening though. Because of that, my DNS server still appears closed in a firewall scan. I checked at Bind's website, and they say that it's usually due to silly things like the server's hostname ( mine's good ), or the fact that there's no rndc-key located in named.conf or rndc.conf ( which is there in both files on this machine), so I'm not sure what to do. The DNS port is open on the firewall, but the service is not fully starting. The funny thing is that my email server (postfix) runs like a charm, and so does everything else.
So right now, it's more of an annoyance than anything, but I'd like to solve it. Still open to suggestions.
