On most resolvers, it works fine.

But a MS-Windows user, testing a big ISP, reports me that it displays:


   1. 80.12.255.136 (dns-nat-fw4-b.wanadoo.fr) appears to have UNKNOWN
source port randomness and UNKNOWN transaction ID randomness.
   2. 80.12.204.180 appears to have UNKNOWN source port randomness and
UNKNOWN transaction ID randomness.
   3. 80.12.204.178 appears to have UNKNOWN source port randomness and
UNKNOWN transaction ID randomness.
...

What does UNKNOWN means?
