 Ports 135-139 and 445 are denied by the firewall on the outside 
 interface.
 
  Why do you care about what port you are sending to?  Just
  allow named to send its replies.
 

Ports 135-139 and 445 are blocked on the outside interface to protect 
the Windows networks on the inside, which use those ports, from the 
savage Internet.

You seem to be saying that you are blocking incomming traffic on those
ports, but the above errors suggest that you are allowing incomming
queries on those ports but blocking the outgoing reply. I don't understand
why you would do that.

Are you saying that it's normal for named to send replies on those ports?
Also, the server has been up for over 3 years with no problems, and 
these errors just started happening last week.

New versions of Bind, and perhaps other dns implementations, make queries
on random ports and use a wider range of ports than before.  This is to
work around a security issue.  You are probably seeing the efects of other
sites upgrading their dns servers.

You should adjust your firewall to allow replies from Bind on any port.

error sending response log messages

2009-01-26 Thread Andre LeClaire

Hello everyone,
I've been seeing these syslog messages for about a week on a FreeBSD 
server running BIND 9.4.3-P1:

Ports 135-139 and 445 are denied by the firewall on the outside 
interface. It looks like it might be some kind of Windows exploit, but 
I've Googled and searched the BIND mailing lists, and haven't found any 
clues yet.

Has anybody else seen this?

Thanks!

Andre
