local caching nameserver

Fri Mar 20 01:08:28 UTC 2009

In order to speed up lookups when running my NANAS reporting script I've
setup, hopefully, named as a local caching nameserver. When starting
named I see in my /var/lib/named/var/log/default.log entries such as
this:

Entries in syslog when starting named show:

When running the script entries are being made to
the /var/lib/named/var/log query.log:

Therefore even with the file not found errors above can I 'assume' that
everything is working as it should or not. This is just a local box not
connected to any others.

Thank you for any advice
