[Constant Brouerius van Nidek <constant@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

In my dmesg I have a lot of message lines which all start with and have all the 
same content. Googling gave me discussions since 2004 but no real solution. 
The only info somewhere was  that it is:

 Multicast DNS, if you don't need it, disable it edit
your /etc/host.conf and set mdns off

For the time being I have disabled mdns but would like to find some background 
information. Do I need Multicast? Why does this message creeps into Linux since 
2004? Whatis SFW2? Something that drops does not sound good. What drops?

Somebody with answers?

One of the complete lines I find the dmesg full with is:

[60253.528099] SFW2-INext-DROP-DEFLT IN=eth0 OUT=
