Bogus replys happen very frequently and shouldn't be regarded as a problem, but if your log is filled with them, and most or all from those two servers, you should try to find out why these two servers are sending your replys to queries you didn't ask. The serves are: 198.142.12.1 : sydney1.world.net 198.142.12.2 : sydney2.world.net You could also lower the log level, which should speed things up a bit since the server doesn't have to log all the bogus replys. -- Sigfus Magnusson Tel: +354-520-5308 Men & Mice Fax: +354-520-5305 e-mail: sigfusm@menandmice.com WWW: http://www.menandmice.com/
