Of course I turned it off, it's normal practice for slaves, I assume.

I think that if server is authoritative - and - slave-only it should
use system resolver rather than querying by itself.

Where can I find information about what causes queries for internal
duties? If it can be found in ARM, could you please point me to the
right chapter. May be I missed something while reading it. The only
mention I have met is that additional resolving is needed for sending
notifies (And will this resolving be performed in case of list of
slaves' ip addresses is written in named.conf?).
