Re: repeated attempts of unapproved updates

We saw some of those at our site which turned out to be Macintoshes that
try to update their DNS entries but that was only on our own DNS
servers. Most of those addresses are aol dialup IPs, so there's a good
chance is is down to the increased number of Win2k/ME boxes out there.

Cheers,
