Using snort? You have to setup a rule to stop snort logging DNS lookups. This 
is because of the way DNS works in general makes it look like connections to 
random ports on your machine.

Since the beginning of my logs, snort has picked up one real portscan since 
Jul 15 on my "on far too long for my own good" freeserve connection.
