Neither. It's a standard message from a BIND8 server at start-up or
reload time. The server uses a random non-privileged port when
querying another name server. The message indicates your server is
using port number 37268. 0.0.0.0 denotes the wildcard IP address,
INADDR_ANY. This means the source address of the query is filled in
by the OS depending on which interface the query gets sent from.
