SYMPTOMS
The following Error event is logged in the system event log on your Microsoft Windows 2000 Server-based computer that is running the DNS Server service: Type: Error

Event ID: 7053

Description:

DNS Server sendto function failed. The data is in error.



CAUSE
This problem may occur if the following conditions are true:
 * Windows Internet Name Service (WINS) lookup is enabled for the Domain Name System (DNS) zone.
 * DNS encounters a referral to an address for a name server that is not valid. The referral resource record lists the IP address of the name server as 0.0.0.0. Because DNS cannot send a query to an address that is not valid, DNS logs an error against the sendto function.
