Hello,

We have many cache only DNS servers which are Compaq DS 20 with Tru 64
5.1 Unix.

All servers had been installed with BIND 8.2.4.

I installed BIND 8.3.0 at two servers of them.

But it seems that these 2 servers have more traffic and cpu usage than
the others.

And these also have syslog messages which are "Jan 15 14:40:36 nsr16
named[6485]:

 refused query on non-query socket from [207.14.100.134].53". These messages

 are not appeared in the others.

The following is netstat result.
