Of course.  Frag3 is target based (tuned to the OS) of your machine.
Therefore you need to create an entry in your snort.conf specifically
tuned to the OS of your DNS server (and any other host on your network)

If you need further help, feel free to email the list or me personally,
however, please review the examples in the snort.conf under the frag3
heading.

From examining the packet capture, I?ve determined that the ?offending?
traffic is an NXDomain response from a valid root server.  It?s being
caused by doing reverse lookups on spam email.

 

However, the question remains, is there any way I can fine tune the
frag3 preprocessor to avoid these false positives?

I am seeing a lot of frag3 Fragmentation overlap alerts with my DNS
server as the destination and a source address that reverses to a root
server.  When examining the packets, the traffic seems to be valid DNS
traffic, although it has nothing to do with any domains that I host.  Is
this some sort of attack, or is it valid traffic that is throwing false
positives?  If it is a false positive, is there any way I can fine-tune
the frag3 preprocessor to avoid these?
