I get the following error on my DNS server:

The DNS server encountered a packet addressed to itself -- IP address 10.0.1.2.

The DNS server should never be sending a packet to itself. This situation usually indicates a configuration error.
TechNet was no help. Thanks.

Please see Microsoft Knowledge Base Article Q218814 "DNS Server Logs Event 7062: DNS Server Encountered a Packet Addressed to Itself" The article references NT but provides a valuable list of diagnostic steps that may resolve your problem.
