Intermittend DNS problems
« on: September 08, 2004, 08:24:26 AM »
I have an SME Server running SME 6.01 Beta.

The symptoms are : very slow name lookup.
I look in the logfile messages and see this line comming up quite often:

Sep  8 08:10:40 server kernel: denylog:IN=eth1 OUT= MAC=00:69:00:02:03:ff:00:02:96:17:a4:9d:08:00 SRC=196.43.1.13 DST=192.168.10.99 LEN=73 TOS=0x00 PREC=0x00 TTL=250 ID=24126 DF PROTO=UDP SPT=53 DPT=23021 LEN=53

196.43.1.13 is the DNS Server.

Why is the kernel dropping valid packets comming back from my router ?

Also at times when I do a netstat -an, then I see 50-75 connections to port 53 UDP to the DNS server.

I have MRTG running on the line and there is no heavy traffic.

Any help will be appreciated.
