DNS

[manoa]

Every so often, I get a warning from the DNS event log
which states:
Source: DNS
Category: None
Event ID: 5504
Detail:
The DNS server encountered an invalid domain name in a
packet from 198.4.0.4
I have no ideal where the IP is from. I have configured
the DNS with IP forwarder from the ISP.

Sounds like someone is trying to get into your DNS server and hijack it?
The IP address belongs to UU.NET
