Hello world,

 Lately I have notice lots of bad referrals messages in my log file and
when Itake a closer look, I have a bunch of these..

Jan 14 16:55:22 KWAN named[82]: bad referral (188.207.IN-ADDR.ARPA !<
7.188.207.in-addr.arpa)

 Any ideas what is happening?

 Note: I have nothing to deal with 207.188.* network.. and I don't know
what causes these messages... Am I being attack?

Derek
