It's not clear what you mean. By default, dynamic DNS is disabled in
BIND8. There's nothing to "turn off". If you want random desktops to
have arbitrary write access to your DNS, you have to explictly enable
it with an allow-update substatement in the relevant zone statement in
named.conf.

If you want to suppress logging of these messages, you can do this
through named.conf's logging statement. Just direct all messages in
the update category to the null (logging) channel:
	logging {
		...
		category update { null; }
		...
	}

However that is VERY unwise. You could be throwing away information
about possible security attacks as well as misconfigured boxes that
are trying to do naughty things to your DNS data.
