It depends.

Sep 26 21:00:00 wall snort: [1:515:2] MISC source port 53 to <1024
[Classification: Potentially Bad Traffic] [Priority: 2]: {UDP}
193.141.40.1:53 -> 192.168.7.200:53

Consider the source and destination.  Source was from
xlink1.xlink.net which
is a DNS server.  Desitnation was a private net.  Now if that
internal machine
made a DNS query then this might be normal, seeing as you can
specify the port
to connect back on in the BIND configs.

Is that one of the DNS servers you use?  If not, then
something might be up.
If so, build a pass rule for it if needed, the use the -o
switch to swap the
order of the rules.

Hope this helps!
