I am having a problem with traffic bandwidth, and my syslog is full of the following type of issue: error (unexpected RCODE REFUSED) resolving 'target-express.com/AAAA/IN': 193.95.142.60#53 error (unexpected RCODE REFUSED) resolving 'target-express.com/A/IN': 2001:7c8:3:2::5#53 In today's syslog, there are 144258 instances of this, all related to target-express.com. My questions are: is there anything I can do firewall-wise or bind config to stop this? Why would my bind setup be trying to resolve target-express.com (it's not my domain, nothing to do with me). I have checked my forwarders in named.conf, and none of them match the IPs showing in the logs (they are all basically different IPs, not just 193.95.142.60). My iptables reads: Chain INPUT (policy ACCEPT) target prot opt source destination ACCEPT all -- anywhere anywhere REJECT all -- anywhere loopback/8 reject-with icmp-port-unreachable ACCEPT all -- anywhere anywhere state RELATED,ESTABLISHED ACCEPT tcp -- anywhere anywhere tcp dpt:http ACCEPT tcp -- anywhere anywhere tcp dpt:https AC
