logger: punching nameserver 207.229.143.2 through the firewall

i just recently built a box that acts as firewall of sorts/nat. it
receives its public address via dhcp from my cable modem provider.
is this log entry normal? why exactly is a "hole" being punched through
the firewall?
i have a default outbound policy set to ALLOW and my inbound are strict,
but still allow for packets with a source of tcp/udp 53.

thanks -charles
