samba - Oct 2005 - dns queries from samba?

hi,

i played around with ethereal a bit, looks like samba is trying to
resolve GANDALF, the ethereal entry:

source: my ip, dest: nameserver, protocol: dns info: standard query A
GANDALF

im very sure i've used the name GANDALF for nothing else except my
netbios name.

My dns server awnsers with:  Standard query response, Server
failure[Short Frame]


Is this really samba and if it is, why?




my smb.conf:

[global]
workgroup = MIDEARTH
netbios name = GANDALF
security = SHARE

bind interfaces only = yes
interfaces = eth0 lo

passdb backend = tdbsam
guest account = nobody

#logging
log file = /tmp/samba.log
log level = 1
