Continuing to 'clean up' my new server by reviewing logged messages. Researching a common one:

Feb 26 07:30:29 onlo named[19336]: error (unexpected RCODE SERVFAIL) resolving 'foo.com/MX/IN': 1.2.3.4#53

I get the drift that my server has been directed to a 'lame server' and logs that fact. Supposedly I am to lookup the SOA record and contact the admin to fix this. What I really want to do is stop all these messages as I suspect I will not be able to do anything to fix the problem. So far what I have found is to add to my global logging section:

    category lame-servers { null; };

Is there a finer scalpel? I believe there are other lame server failures? Like 'RCODE REFUSED' and 'RCODE 15' (these are the 3 I see in my messages)? Can I block logging by RCODE, so as new ones appear I can learn what they mean before /dev/null ing them?

I would be interested in which client is requesting these lookups that end up going to lame servers. I am assuming the IP address in the log is the address of the lame server, not the requesting client.
