Subject: Unusually High Client DNS Query Volume -- lots of hits.

alert udp $HOME_NET any -> $DNS_SERVERS 53 (msg:"BLEEDING-EDGE POLICY
Unusually High Client DNS Query Volume -- Possible Spambot"; threshold:
type both, count 60, s
econds 20, track by_src; classtype:misc-activity; sid:2003330; rev:1;)

I am seeing lots of hits against this rule from machines that
legitimately do lots of DNS lookups. EG print spoolers and other
infrastructure. Comments say that these rules are experimental so I
would suggest that to get rid of FPs in our environment you would need
to raise the threshold substantially, this may however mean that it
would perform its intended
function.
