BIND 8.2.1 creating lots of CPU usage for syslogd and named

Hi,

I'm running BIND 8.2.1 on Solaris 2.6

When I start named SYSLOGD and NAMED are using
lots of CPU.

This is some output from top
  167 root      10  33  0 4136K 1984K sleep  21.1H 45.70% syslogd
6721 root       1   7    0 4312K 1888K sleep     0:18 16.45% named

When I turn on querylogging I get this about 200 times a second
08-Aug-1999 13:57:42.559 XX+/134.188.149.78/78.149.188.134.in-addr.arpa/PTR
08-Aug-1999 13:57:42.561 XX+/134.188.149.78/ts1-st16.oce.nl/A

In which 134.188.149.78 is the ip adres and ts1-st16.oce.nl is the hostname
running NAMED. Thus it performs about 200 queries a second for its own
ip/hostname.

Can anybody help me?

Thanks,
Marcel
