Strange to get this from Idnets DNS servers don't you think.
Now is this for real or just my router playing up.

A google suggests DOS attacks can use the DNS server addresses as reflectors whatever that means,presumably to obscure their origin.

Thanks Steve

I have seen DOS atacks before but never using an isp's DNS servers

I think it's as Steve says, Steve, but if you're concerned, email that log to support.

Hi Rik

I will just leave it for now and see if it happens again.
I think that both of you are right after googleing it and having a quick reed.
Thanks again.

Our pleasure.
