Named - Turn off Lame Server Logging

From time to time you may see "lame server resolving" entries in your log files.
The problem results from doing a lookup on a domain, where the DNS zone file is not listed as "authoritative" for the domain. The domain owner has to fix this. However you can turn off the logging of these "lame server" messages so as to keep your logs clean.
# vi /etc/named.conf
Add the following section after your zone definitions...
logging { category lame-servers { null; }; };
Save and quit the file and restart named.
