I do not use my XServer for internet connectivity, merely for fileserving in a static IP environment, but the fine folks at Apple insist that the OS is so heavily reliant on DNS, that it MUST be on. So, it is on, and the XServer is the primary DNS address in the NIC settings on the Macs, the actual firewall is the secondary.
About 2 weeks ago, I noticed a LOT of outbound DNS activity from the XServer on port 53 (dns), occasionally reaching over 600 concurrent outbound connections. If I uncheck "Recursive" in the dns services (Xserve 10.4.11) it stops, but my then Macs can't connect to the internet.
Any thoughts?
