 EV> Your message to Jean made me think to write you about this.

 EV> The numbers in the Destination IP: line were:

 EV> 206.204.226.28:DNS

 EV> 192.6.6.123:DNS

 As you have probably noticed, ZA will prompt you regarding both
 incoming and outgoing packets.  The outgoing packets will be
 identified by the application making the request.

 While you can choose to answer the prompts individually, you
 can also set a rule so that a repeated request for the same
 packet type and destination is always treated the same.

 Destination IPs for outgoing packets from the same application
 can vary, as the application may not always use/need the same
 server.  The browser is the obvious case in point.

 That's something apart from DHCP.  The DHCP server assigns
 IPs only to local machines, and these IPs are fixed for the duration
 of the lease.
