Multiple access attempts - should I be worried?

Hi,

looking in /var/log/messages I can see:

Apr 6 09:01:16 web named[554]: client 88.254.223.194#15175: query (cache) 'directedat.asia/ANY/IN' denied Apr 6 09:01:35 web named[554]: client 88.254.223.194#33094: query (cache) 'directedat.asia/ANY/IN' denied Apr 6 09:01:35 web named[554]: client 88.254.223.194#33094: query (cache) 'directedat.asia/ANY/IN' denied Apr 6 09:01:35 web named[554]: client 88.254.223.194#33094: query (cache) 'directedat.asia/ANY/IN' denied Apr 6 09:01:35 web named[554]: client 88.254.223.194#33094: query (cache) 'directedat.asia/ANY/IN' denied Apr 6 09:01:35 web named[554]: client 88.254.223.194#33094: query (cache) 'directedat.asia/ANY/IN' denied Apr 6 09:01:35 web named[554]: client 88.254.223.194#42327: query (cache) 'directedat.asia/ANY/IN' denied Apr 6 09:01:35 web named[554]: client 88.254.223.194#42327: query (cache) 'directedat.asia/ANY/IN' denied Apr 6 09:01:35 web named[554]: client 88.254.223.194#42327: query (cache) 'directedat.asia/ANY/IN' denied Apr 6 09:01:35 web named[554]: client 88.254.223.194#42327: query (cache) 'directedat.asia/ANY/IN' denied Apr 6 09:01:35 web named[554]: client 88.254.223.194#42327: query (cache) 'directedat.asia/ANY/IN' denied Apr 6 09:01:54 web named[554]: client 88.254.223.194#45044: query (cache) 'directedat.asia/ANY/IN' denied Apr 6 09:01:54 web named[554]: client 88.254.223.194#45044: query (cache) 'directedat.asia/ANY/IN' denied Apr 6 09:01:54 web named[554]: client 88.254.223.194#45044: query (cache) 'directedat.asia/ANY/IN' denied Apr 6 09:01:54 web named[554]: client 88.254.223.194#45044: query (cache) 'directedat.asia/ANY/IN' denied Apr 6 09:01:54 web named[554]: client 88.254.223.194#45044: query (cache) 'directedat.asia/ANY/IN' denied Apr 6 09:01:54 web named[554]: client 88.254.223.194#41158: query (cache) 'directedat.asia/ANY/IN' denied Apr 6 09:01:54 web named[554]: client 88.254.223.194#41158: query (cache) 'directedat.asia/ANY/IN' denied Apr 6 09:01:54 web named[554]: client 88.254.223.194#41158: query (cache) 'directedat.asia/ANY/IN' denied Apr 6 09:01:54 web named[554]: client 88.254.223.194#41158: query (cache) 'directedat.asia/ANY/IN' denied Apr 6 09:01:54 web named[554]: client 88.254.223.194#41158: query (cache) 'directedat.asia/ANY/IN' denied

Should I be worried? Is there anything I should be activating on my VPS / Webmin to prevent this?

Thank you

Howdy,

It's good that you review the logs -- however, I wouldn't be particularly concerned about that.

There are bots constantly roaming the Internet, looking for security issues. That bot tried some stuff, and after being denied will be moving on :-)
