OSX Firewall log

Hello All.
Having recently come from Windows, I have activated the OSX Firewall from 'Sharing'.
When ever I check the console (being somewhat paranoid) I see this message and was wondering if I could or should correct it somehow.

Computer mDNSResponder: NOTE: Wide-Area Service Discovery disabled to avoid crashing defective DNS relay 10.0.1.1.

I don't know what it means, but if I could make it better I would.
Thanks. Dean M.
 
Get a better network hub ;-)

What that is saying is that your Mac detected that the router/switch/DSL Modem or whatever on your network that is doing you local DNS forwarding has a known bug in it. If it sees the revers DNS traffic that Bonjour uses it will get confused and crash, so rather than crashing another device out on the network they just disabled wide-area discovery.
