why queries rejected?

[pyh]

Hi, 

I saw this piece from named.stats: 

[XXX.com]
             812922 auth queries rejected
                116 recursive queries rejected
                  4 transfer requests rejected
                 80 update requests rejected
             922732 queries resulted in successful answer
             947383 queries resulted in authoritative answer
              23633 queries resulted in nxrrset
               1018 queries resulted in NXDOMAIN
                 77 requested transfers completed
                 38 updates completed 


The first line shows there is 812922 auth queries rejected.
Where there are so many queries which were rejected by bind? 

Thanks.
