I guess I should've stated that these are almost all some DSL customers on =
our=20
network using their assigned DNS servers, but this traffic is just complete=
ly=20
out of normal; especially since they were all looking for "msn.com.".
Another thing that is quite odd (to me) is that the source port is all port=
=20
53; I thought that normal clients would use a random high port to do querie=
s=20
from.
