I run a local DNS server on FreeBSD (named) and have set forward only, it's a pretty basic setup, just modifying the provided named.conf for my usage. I previously used OpenDNS (no account) and had no trouble (I switched because I didn't like the redirects from bad lookups and didn't want to get a stupid account with them). Now I've pointed forwarders and resolv.conf (via dhclient.conf) to Google DNS and my firewall (pf) is reporting the following through the kernel log (actually I'm assuming it's pf since that's what's denying the connection);
+Connection attempt to UDP $MYIP:63129 from 8.8.4.4:53

and on and on and on.
So, um, what is it doing? Have I mis-configured something somewhere? Like I said I didn't get these messages when pointed at OpenDNS. My problem is while I can follow a man page or HowTo, I don't necessarily understand how all the bits play together.
Thanks!
