Hi Gurus,

I have a very strange issue with our DNS server (Windows AD). Most of the DNS request works well, but from time to time I have the following (in Wireshark) "ICMP Destination unreachable - Port unreachable).

The request goes from a user workstation to a server through both a router and a firewall (which might be responsible for those issues).

Below is the trace I can see from my own workstation:

[1262] @30.722130: DNS query (type A) for ssl-google-analytics.l.google.com from 172.16.23.28 (Workstation Windows 10) to 172.16.37.30 (M$ AD 2016)

[1264] @30.723597: DNS response for ssl-google-analytics.l.google.com from 172.16.37.30 to 172.16.23.28

[1265] @30.723610: ICMP Destination unreachbable (Port unreachable) from 172.16.23.28 to 172.16.37.30

The ICMP packet contains the following information:
