Nope - not DNS, BIDS - BigPond cable authentication system.

Try these ones - udp ports 5050/5051.

ipchains -A input  -p udp -s 24.192.0.0/18 5050 -d {YOURIP}/32 -j ACCEPT
ipchains -A output -p udp -s 24.192.0.0/18 5050 -d {YOURIP}/32 -j ACCEPT
ipchains -A input  -p udp -s 24.192.0.0/18 5051 -d {YOURIP}/32 -j ACCEPT
ipchains -A output -p udp -s 24.192.0.0/18 5051 -d {YOURIP}/32 -j ACCEPT

Note that the port on your end is dynamically assigned by bpalogin, not
just 1027.

Being able to send replies to authentication queries is usually polite :-)
