<![CDATA[Root: 17 addresses added? and "Bogons file downloaded"? What are these?]]>Hello,

On our PFSense 1.2 log, I don't usually see much in the system log. About twenty minutes ago, I just saw something like this (not exact, but close)…

root: 17 addresses added
bogons file downloaded

The messages were in that order. What do they mean? Is this anything to be concerned about? I'm not sure if the "root: 17 addresses added" has anything to do with DNS. I assume not. I've never seen that before and I'm using DNS forwarding. All of our client machines aren't even pointing to the pfsense box for DNS.

Thanks
