If you don't get scary in modifing the source code of bind you could:

- Go into file {source_dir}/lib/dns/zone.c line 4522,
- Substitute "ISC_LOG_INFO" with "ISC_LOG_NOTICE".
- Recompile && Install everything.

In this way you take back the severity of that message to "notice".

pretty sure that someone else has a better advise for you ;) .
