[FW-1] Weird Activity



Hi,

We have been experiencing a weird thing with our DNS servers in our
network, and I was wondering if anyone would know if our firewall has been
penetrated or not.

What is happening is our DNS server (WinNT 4.0 SP6a) is getting a localhost
address record insert in the cache.  This in turn royally screws up our
RS/6000 server, as they use the name localhost for the software they are
running.  It happened yesterday, and it took awhile to find out the cause,
and when we did, we removed the offending entry, and then stopped, and
started the DNS server, so that the cache would be flushed completely.  But
once again, just 5 minutes ago, it happened again.

Does anyone know if this is a result of a virus, trojan, or something else?
I have searched the firewall logs for any information, but cannot find
anything out.

Thanks,
