If it is true that problem caused by some special characters in hostnames then the event is generated by zone transfer to to the secondary DNS server. By default the zone transfer occurs once per 15 minutes. Try to make it &nbsp;manually and if you will see this event then the cause of event is found.

The DNS server encountered an invalid domain name in a packet from 128.9.0.107. &nbsp;The packet is rejected. <br />
<br />
I did a reverse lookup on 128.9.0.107, it was some ns1.isi.edu server<br />
<br />
I went to DNS --? right click on my server--&gt;properties--&gt;root<wbr /> hints... i see that IP corresponding to b.root-servers.net.<br />
<br />
When i go to edit on that ip and click on resolve, the ip address changes to 192.228.79.201. I have been hitting cancel on that screen to get that IP back to 128.9.0.107<br />
<br />
I want to get rid of that error 5504. It generates every 15 minutes. Please advice.
