my logs is flooding with snort w/ some weird message about port 53

["alexus" <ml () db nexgen com>]

hello

for some reason i get a lot of traffic on my port 53, even though my
nameserver is closed for public, can someone explain me what does that mean?

Sep  4 14:44:05 box snort[11565]: [1:515:2] MISC source port 53 to <1024
[Classification: Potentially Bad Traffic] [Priority: 2]: {UDP}
24.69.255.195:53 -> 66.92.98.145:53
Sep  4 14:44:08 box snort[11565]: [1:515:2] MISC source port 53 to <1024

194.67.2.114:53 -> 66.92.98.145:53
Sep  4 14:44:08 box snort[11565]: [1:515:2] MISC source port 53 to <1024

Sep  4 14:44:08 box snort[11565]: [1:515:2] MISC source port 53 to <1024
[Classification: Potentially Bad Traffic] [Priority: 2]: {UDP}
207.236.57.98:53 -> 66.92.98.145:53

just for example right now it's 2:45pm and since morning i already got

su-2.05# grep -c "MISC source port 53" /var/log/all.log
9222
su-2.05#

of those entryes in my log

please help

if this a legit traffic which rule i can comment out so it wont show in my
logs? and if this traffic is legit why is it shows as "potentially bad
traffic"?

thanks in advance
