The last development work for BIND 4 stopped in 1997 with
the release of BIND 4.9.6. That over a decade ago. Later
releases were to address security issues.
8.53 (vixie 01-Jun-97): --- 4.9.6 released ---
At this point there is almost no one running it anymore as
it is full of known security flaws. Everyone has moved on.
If you want help moving to BIND 9 we can do that. Asking
us to explain what debug messages mean is basically a waste
of time for everyone.
One last answer and that will be it for me.
What you are seeing appears to be normal cache operation.
