Ok, well this is good to know. Although it still doesn't explain why my firewall is reporting DNS UDP/TCP probes from windowupdate.com on a regular basis.
Microsoft has in the past used load balancing technology that sent DNS queries back to your machine/nameserver in an attempt to provide you with a better performing (one can only assume lower latency) server. I suspect you may get "probed" approximately as often as you (or your users) contact windows update. -- Leo Bicknell - bicknell@ufp.org - CCIE 3440 PGP keys at http://www.ufp.org/~bicknell/ Read TMBG List - tmbg-list-request@tmbg.org, www.tmbg.org
