cant help directly, but grab Ethereal (.org) and run it on a workstation - its
able to break down the ICMP packets and tell you what theyre actually
asking/doing.
Dont know for certain, but i'd probably suspect that the workstations are just
checking they still have access to the DC

We have recently set up an IDS (Intrusion Detection) system on our network
and are seeing a large amount of ICMP traffic (pings) traveling from all
client workstations to our two Domain Controllers, that are also running
DNS. We are a mixed mode domain. I was just wondering if anybody knew if
it is normal for a client workstation to contact a domain controller at
regular intervals via ping/ICMP or not? Why does this happen/is this
something that I should worry about?
