Bind+DLZ writing huge number of logs to /var/log/messages. Impacting capacity.

[Mike Toler]

Ok, I think I'm onto the culprit here for my capacity issues, but I just
don't understand what is going on.
I have built a test Postgres database with ~130k entries in it.  Each
entry looks like:
test-172-X.YYY.ZZZ, where x is 1 or 2, YYY is 1 to 255 and ZZZ is 1 to
255.

When I do a query, I get the correct response from Bind:
	nslookup test-172-2-255-251.myexample2.com
	Server:         <ip>
	Address:        <ip>#53

	Name:   test-172-2-255-251.myexample2.com
	Address: 172.2.255.251

However, in the /var/log/message file, I see a huge number lines of
"errors" for that lookup.  Did I somehow build bind so that it's debug
level is always turned on?   I've tried starting it with "named -d 0",
I've removed all logging info from my /etc/named.conf.  Before I removed
all the log related lines from my named.conf, these logs all had "error"
listed as their log level.

Anyone got any ideas?
