I Host a site for the local strip club and lately I started getting messages like this for several domains. Dec 20 01:13:22 www named[2105]: unapproved AXFR from [157.167.1.21].4238 for "theirdomain.NET" (acl) Dec 20 01:13:23 www named[2105]: unapproved AXFR from [157.167.1.21].4239 for "theirdomain.NET" (acl) I checked into it and found that surfcontrol is responsable for this. They are doing it to confirm their "Block Lists" are correct. So they can block the domains from being accessed by employees/customers of bussiness that they sell their product to. So am I crazy or did they scan my network with the intent of blocking traffic and thereby causing me direct finanical losses? Is what they are doing legale? Have they broken the law in several states? Zeffie (Michigan)
