    I could use a little assistance with this one - my web hosting provider is telling me that one of our machines is banging the host server every 30 seconds with this request:

    where 'domainname' is our domain name and 'xx.xx.x.238' is our dynamic ip address.

    I can't find anything on any of the machines that I can see that would be doing that - any ideas?

    Looks to me like it's attempting a "Zone transfer" on your ISP's DNS server. Someone playing w/ nslookup/dig? Or since it's every 30 seconds, I'd think maybe a worm or trojan. :zzz
