[afnog] BGP issues and strange traffic

[Nistech Ltd]

Mikrotik does not run dns server by default. He probably enabled it. 

I will advice that he disables it by unchecking "allow remote request" under the DNS settings .

He could also add some firewall rules to allow query from only his LAN if he doesn't want to disable the DNS server stuff
