Hello !

I am logging all bind queries using the query-log option and in my log file 
I saw some curious entries which are the following:

Apr 30 18:06:14 kyrandia named[24200]: XX /200.204.127.114/VERSION.BIND/TXT
Apr 30 21:58:56 kyrandia named[24200]: XX /203.13.169.165/version.bind/TXT
May  1 18:20:09 kyrandia named[24200]: XX /200.61.71.26/version.bind/TXT

My question is: does anybody know if that's normal ? If yes what is it 
exactly, is it BIND itself generating that ? What I think is that I am maybe 
being probed by some malicious software which tryes to detect my BIND 
version. What do you think ?

Thanks for the comments.

Regards,
Marc
