    Hi All

    client 210.125.84.44#60392: query (cache) 'mail.google.com/A/IN' denied
    These seem to be quite regular and with about 30 entries all with differant ips.
    I am using ubuntu 804 ispconfig 2, BIND 9.4.2-P2.1.

    Not sure, but maybe someone is trying to test if your DNS server allows recursive lookups.

    Hi
    Thank you for your replys, they seem to have stopped for now so perhaps you were right.
    I will keep an eye on the logs.
