Any Zone Alarm users get alerts similar to the one I got this morning: The firewall has blocked Internet access to your computer(UDP Port 1026) from IP address x.x.x.x (DNS) ?

I'm trying a new ISP, and the IP address listed is the ISP's DNS server. I'm wondering why the DNS IP would be attempting to access my computer? And if this is legitimate and necessary, do I need to add the DNS IP address to my trusted zone?

BTW, I have a DSL router with a hardware firewall in place. It apparently let the probe through. Good or bad, I don't know.
