Yes, I've checked all files in /var/log and not a clue. My xferlog is
/usr/local/etc/proftpd.xferlog and is also absolute normal. Proftpd have
only on user and this user can access only from my home IP.

I think it's from myHome, isn't it?

The my2NS is out of my network and it access my network to get zone
information.

No, I wrote only the first rule for reference. I was worried about the DNS.
My ipchains file is bigger than that.

I have downloaded a wonderfull book, "securing and optimizing RedHat Linux".
I don't remember the autor's name. He wrote a new version talking about

Thank's again,

Bruno.
