Why are some DNS request names missing?
Although the DNS protocol states that the question section must be present in the requests, not all DNS messages are name resolution requests. Some DNS servers may use message types unknown to the traffic analyzer and do not embed anything meaningful in the question section of the message. The NBNS server statistic report is such a message that makes no use of the question section.
Note: You can search for empty DNS names using the regular expression ~^$ in the name search box.
