This has been identified as a bug in Winodws NT 4.0, Service Pack 4, 5, and 6 and NT Server, Enterprise Edition version 4.0
The errors are reported to appear after the upgrade of a DNS-based server from SP 3 to 4, 5, or 6. This is seen when DNS encounters a referral to an invalid address for a name server. DNS cannot send a query to an invalid address and logs the error against the sendto function. A fix that corrects this problem is available from Microsoft.
