with the LOGCHECK package (using potato) installed, i get these
all the time -- i'm wondering what the "NOTIFY for non-secondary
name" means (it's related to named/bind/dns of course, but is
this just a 'here's what's happening' message, or is it a 'your
configuration is a tad borked' message?)

and then i also get those 'can't get client address: invalid
argument' messages a lot.  what's that? is it something i need to
fix or is it just informative?
