      I am getting the following log entries multiple times an hour:

      These are the VLAN names, not necessarily hosts. Not sure why or even if the VLANs themselves should be resolved. Anyone know why I would be seeing these entries in the log and/or what to do to correct?

      Thanks!

        Have you used those names in aliases , or directly in firewall rules ?

          Yes, the VLANs are listed in some aliases that are being used with some firewall rules. The firewall rules with the aliases are still in place, but disabled. I will remove the rules as well as aliases as none of them are being used.

          I’ll report my findings.

          Thanks!

            Not sure how those would of ever resolved, they are not fully qualified..

            Yeah if not being used, just removed. If you want to use something like those - then they should be fully qualified..

              Thanks everyone for the help! Removing the aliased VLANs and firewall rules cleared the issue.
