port 53 connection attempts from localhost

[Thomas S. Crum - AAA Web Solution, Inc.]

Here is the situation, I run bind as a root nameserver and all appears to be
operating normally (no apparent problems).  But, log_in_vain is reporting to
messages a few times per second that port 53 is being queried and nothing
"appears" to be listing on it. I monitored my forwarders ip addresses and
they reply fine.

I found a reference to search for "bind timeout problem", but could find
nothing that looked like any help.

Any ideas?

Couple of stats:
FreeBSD 4.10
BIND 8.3.7-REL
using 2 forwarders
127.0.0.1 in resolve.conf
log_in_vain="YES" in rc.conf
allow all from any to any via lo0 in ipfw
