A bogus reply is a reply to a query that QuickDNS Pro did not send. It most
often happens when a server sends a response twice to a single query.
Bogus replies happen very frequently and shouldn't be regarded as a problem,
but if your log is filled with them, and most or all from the same servers, you
should try to find out why these servers are sending you replies to queries you
didn't ask (you might have to contact the administrators for those servers for
details).
I hope this helps.
