Vlad Grigorescu commented on BIT-1460:
--------------------------------------
The issue here is src/analyzer/protocol/dns/DNS.cc lines 58-68:
{quote}
// There is a great deal of non-DNS traffic that runs on port 53.
// This should weed out most of it.
if ( dns_max_queries > 0 && msg.qdcount > dns_max_queries )
{
analyzer->ProtocolViolation("DNS_Conn_count_too_large");
analyzer->Weird("DNS_Conn_count_too_large");
EndMessage(&msg);
return 0;
}

topic/vladg/bit-1460 makes dns_max_queries redef-able, and bumps up the limit from 5 to 25.
Since multicast is so chatty, it might make sense to special case it and allow for a higher limit. That being said, I'm not sure there's much of a downside to setting the max a bit higher.
