DNS error 7062

[rrdavis07]

I've read quite a bit about this error, but can't seem to come to a resolution.

Here is the event log entry:

Event Type: Warning
Event Source: DNS
Event Category: None
Event ID: 7062
Date: 8/3/2006
Time: 10:18:49 AM
User: N/A
Computer: USD360-TYAN
Description:
The DNS server encountered a packet addressed to itself on IP address 192.168.168.6. The packet is for the DNS name "_ldap._tcp.dc._msdcs.usd360.". The packet will be discarded. This condition usually indicates a configuration error.

Check the following areas for possible self-send configuration errors:
1) Forwarders list. (DNS servers should not forward to themselves).
2) Master lists of secondary zones.
3) Notify lists of primary zones.
4) Delegations of subzones. Must not contain NS record for this DNS server unless subzone is also on this server.
5) Root hints.

Example of self-delegation:
-> This DNS server dns1.example.microsoft.com is the primary for the zone example.microsoft.com.
-> The example.microsoft.com zone contains a delegation of bar.example.microsoft.com to dns1.example.microsoft.com,
(bar.example.microsoft.com NS dns1.example.microsoft.com)
-> BUT the bar.example.microsoft.com zone is NOT on this server.

Note, you should make this delegation check (with nslookup or DNS manager) both on this DNS server and on the server(s) you delegated the subzone to. It is possible that the delegation was done correctly, but that the primary DNS for the subzone, has any incorrect NS record pointing back at this server. If this incorrect NS record is cached at this server, then the self-send could result. If found, the subzone DNS server admin should remove the offending NS record.

You can use the DNS server debug logging facility to track down the cause of this problem.

I've checked the Root Hints in Cache.dns and didn't see anything that looked like it should be there. There were no entries pointing to the local DNS Server, which I believe is correct.

How else to I go about correcting this event. I'm getting several dozen of these daily and they are filling up my event viewer.

Still having issues with this one. Thought I'd bump it back to the top and see if anyone has any thought. Thanks for your help.
