Re: outrageous DNS queries of isatap.mshome. from Residential Network.

But someday you'll need those clients to be running IPv6.

We had this happen several times last year.

The problem has to do with the way that Windows Vista configures its
interfaces and it is fixed in Vista SP1.  You probably want clients
running SP1 anyway.  Good luck!

quickest fix, have the problem children disable IPv6.

Hi All,

In recent days, we have been seeing thousands of DNS queries of
isatap.mshome. from certain hosts in our Residential Network. They
will just keep asking the same questions over and over again, even
non-domain is returned.

Could somebody offer some clue on this?

Thanks.
