I have my Windows 2003 server forwarding DNS requests to another DNS server. Unfortunatly, I cannot get any webpages displayed - it says "Opening Page" in Internet Explorer but never actually loads.

When I look at the DNS, I get Event 5504 - which says:

The DNS server encountered an invalid domain name in a packet from xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx. The packet will be rejected. The Event Data is contained in the DNS Packet.

The IP address shown in the error is the IP address of the DNS server I am forwarding to.

Anyone have any ideas?

Just recieved the same messages in my DNS logs, and it seems they are coming from Internet root servers. As yet, I have not had any problems with Internet access, since I'm using it here. Other websites indicate people recieving the same warnings, but that they are not threatning.
