Problem with DNS (UDP) queries

Hi all
I am trying to get rid of strings:
kernel: Connection attempt to UDP FREEBSD_IP:port from DNSSERVER_IP:53
on my console and in log file
I understand that those are replies on DNS queries that for some reason
took too long time to be answered.
I do not want to turn off the "log in vain" feature.
As these strings fill up my log I am afraid to miss some sensitive
messages (e.g. hacker's attack :)
I'm using FreeBSD 5.1 with ipfw2 that allows via static rules both
DNS queries and DNS replies.
The main application that generates queries is sendmail.
What can be done?
I've found a lot of similar questions at google but there was no a single answer.
I'd be happy, for example, to increase the FreeBSD resolver timeout but
I do not want to change any source code.
Thank you for your attention.
Alex
