Subject: Mystery DNS Changes

Don't know if this will help anybody else but I have added this to all 
my sensors that see internal traffic headed for firewalls:

var MAL_DNS [216.127.92.38/32,69.57.146.14/32,69.57.147.175/32]
alert tcp any any <> $MAL_DNS 53 (msg:"Malicious DNS Traffic"; 
sid:900027; rev:1;)

This along with a rule in my alerting software that alerts once per hour 
per machine that is triggering this alert seems to be working pretty well.
