Hmmm... I don't understand. You say the box is "not connected", yet
you're running a reporting script that presumably is looking up Internet
names/addresses and trying to resolve them (?). It needs access --
either directly or indirectly via forwarding -- to the Internet DNS in
order to do that. Thus, for DNS purposes it is "connected".
If you're querying the Internet DNS, you *should* be successfully
loading those RFC 1918 (private-range)-oriented zones. Otherwise you
risk polluting the Internet DNS infrastructure with pointless queries,
i.e. querying public DNS for private addresses. It's not really
acceptable to just ignore the zone-loading errors.
Your nameserver is not running correctly since it's not finding zone
files for zones which are defined as "master" in named.conf. My guess
would be that you're running chroot'ed and those zone files are not in
the correct location relative to the chroot point.

In order to speed up lookups when running my NANAS reporting script I've

Therefore even with the file not found errors above can I 'assume' that
everything is working as it should or not. This is just a local box not
connected to any others.
Thank you for any advice
