BIND: Linux: modprobe: Can't locate module net-pf-10

[Kevin Darcy]

BIND is not generating this message directly. Probably it's being generated
INdirectly by some sort of network operation that BIND is performing. I
think you'd have better luck asking a Linux forum what this message means
and how to get rid of it. You're not the first Linux user that's encountered
that message -- I've seen plenty of log extracts from Linux users with that
message in it. Probably *someone* has come up with a diagnosis and fix by
now...
