Today I installed the recent updates my server fails afer 5-10 hours:

and so on, and so on.
What is the reason of this error? my virtual cache is filling up! from 0-94 MB in 10 minutes.
looks like bind is messed up -- restart it and make sure /etc/resolv.conf has "nameserver 127.0.0.1" in it.
I tested one of the domains listed and it resolved for me.
$ host ns1.riksnet.se
ns1.riksnet.se has address 85.11.0.250
i think your server does not allow itself to be used as a tool for anyone to query domains, which is a good thing.
I have these entries as well and got them after I allowed recursive queries only to its own IP's (so local clients can still do a whois)
if you set "recursive no" these messages will probably go away.
I have not tested this myself though, as I assume my settings are correct.
You can ignore the "lame server" stuff -- in fact you should add
[code:1]category lame-servers { null; };[/code:1]
to your logging.
As for the <i>FORMERR</i> error google has tons of returns for that.

in named.conf add:
allow-recursion { localhost; };
It will then allow only your own server to do recursive queries.
Hy.
/etc/resolv.conf has "nameserver 127.0.0.1" in it. I think, there was an error from my firewall. But there are still messages in te log:

what does FORMERR and lame server resolving mean?
BTW you only need to paste a FEW lines not the whole bloody log.
