How to Trace "TCP Receive Error"

I am seeing lots of messages like this one from BIND-9.4.1-P1:

     [ID 873579 daemon.info] dispatch b090ef8:
       shutting down due to TCP receive error: 69.59.189.68#53:
       connection reset

I tried a Solaris snoop trace of all traffic between the DNS server
(which has three IP addresses) to the IP address in the message:

      snoop -v -s3000 -o /tmp/snoop.trace 69.59.189.68

but I did not get any packets captured.  I ran the trace for one hour,
and after not capturing anything, I looked in /var/adm/messages.
There were about 300 such messages logged.  What snoop trace parameters
do I have to specify to trace this activity?  I am assuming (maybe
incorrectly) that snoop is tracing activity on all three IP addresses.
I have BIND query logging on, and I do not see this address in the
query.log file.  Thanks.
