I've tried to configure bind on my Woody box as a caching DNS server for a segment of the network. However, after mistyping an IP address that I was trying to resolve elsewhere I'm now getting lots of messages in the log file complaining about a lame server. Have I misconfigured named, or is this an error I can ignore? If the latter, how do I make the problem go away - restart the daemon?
Bind 9.1 (bind9_1:9.2.1-2.woody.1_i386)
Error message (repeated over and over):
Sep 22 17:12:00 ns1 named[12680]: lame server resolving '75.1.5.198.in-addr.arpa' (in '1.5.198.in-addr.arpa'?): 198.6.1.161#53
Contents of /etc/named.conf (only modifications are to the forwarders, and to forward 10.0.0.0/24 requests for our local domain back to some other local DNS servers):
