I run a local DNS server for my LAN and just noticed a bunch of these
warnings in my BIND server logs:


Code:
--------------------
    
  26-Oct-2009 14:27:54.470 security: warning: client 192.168.9.35#35065: RFC 
1918 response from Internet for 11.9.168.192.in-addr.arpa
  
--------------------


This is a warning saying that my DNS server is sending queries for RFC
1918 allocated local IP addresses out onto the Internet, which it
shouldn't be doing.  This is easily fixed by making the local DNS server
authoritative for the 168.192.in-addr.arpa zone.

But the question is: Why are these players (Touch and Radio) doing
reverse-DNS lookups in the first place?  The addresses that they're
trying to resolve are those of Sb servers running on the local network.
