Re: Not ignoring DNS servers

This way you are just ignoring portscans on the dns-servers.
These are alerts from icmp-info.rules, if you want to ignore them you
have to write pass rules, or just comment out this rule from your
icmp-info.rules.

Q: How do I ignore traffic coming from a particular host or hosts?

A: Write pass rules and add the host(s) to the portscan-ignorehosts
list.
   Call Snort with the -o option to activate the pass rules.
   See http://www.snort.org/writing_snort_rules.htm for more
information.

I have snort set up the following way in snort.conf (snort rules from
snort site):

var DNS_SERVERS [206.191.0.140/32,206.191.0.210/32]

and

preprocessor portscan-ignorehosts: $DNS_SERVERS

Yet snort still reports:
[**] [1:0:0] ICMP Destination Unreachable (Port Unreachable) [**]
09/06-00:02:01.200180 206.191.19.2 -> 206.191.0.210
ICMP TTL:255 TOS:0xC0 ID:51451 IpLen:20 DgmLen:141
Type:3 Code:3 DESTINATION UNREACHABLE: PORT UNREACHABLE
** ORIGINAL DATAGRAM DUMP:

UDP TTL:253 TOS:0x0 ID:13975 IpLen:20 DgmLen:113
Len: 93
** END OF DUMP

Any ideas?
