Greetings all,

	About a month ago we upgraded our 10mb NIC to a 100mb NIC on a SPARC
5 270mhz with 96mb of memory.  Our environment is about 8500 + machines,
that includes the servers.  I have a script that runs daily via cron, and
its job is to gather statistics on the nameserver.  This script also
restarts named by getting the named.pid info, and doing a kill -ILL on that
pid.  Well after the upgrade of the NIC's, I am now getting this message in
my message log.

May  9 07:50:20 ns4 named[22455]: refused query on non-query socket from
[134.253.93.44].2072
May  9 07:50:20 ns4 named[22455]: refused query on non-query socket from
[134.253.22.3].53

	So what I did is change the schedule to every other day instead of
everyday.  Unfortunately this only fixed this for a week.  Today it happened
again.  Has anyone seen this error message?  This is killing my uptime, and
I am wondering if we need new machines.  By the way the cpu utilization
looks like this through top.

CPU states: 92.7% idle,  3.4% user,  4.0% kernel,  0.0% iowait,  0.0% swap
Memory: 96M real, 10M free, 62M swap free

     PID  USERNAME    THR  PRI   NICE  SIZE         RES  STATE   TIME    CPU

sleep     14:05  3.85%     named

thanks for any Reponses,

Mark A Cinense
