List,

	I have my DNS server running and I have been watching my logs. I have  
found a consistent message:

My workstation is 192.168.2.116
My server is 	192.168.2.111
My router IP is 192.168.2.1

Reviewing RFC 1918 I think this message is saying that I am querying  
my internal LAN addresses from the root servers?? I certainly do not  
want to do that!

Any clarification as to what I'm seeing?
