This was ment for the bind-users list. But if anyone has an answer, it would be greatly welcomed. Afterall, this is from my bind app on my Centos server. -------- Original Message -------- Subject: disabling lame server logging Date: Tue, 26 Feb 2013 08:35:44 -0500 From: Robert Moskowitz <rgm at htt-consult.com> To: CentOS mailing list <centos at centos.org> Continuing to 'clean up' my new server by reviewing logged messages. Researching a common one: Feb 26 07:30:29 onlo named[19336]: error (unexpected RCODE SERVFAIL) resolving 'foo.com/MX/IN': 1.2.3.4#53 I get the drift that my server has been directed to a 'lame server' and logs that fact. Supposedly I am to lookup the SOA record and contact the admin to fix this. What I really want to do is stop all these messages as I suspect I will not be able to do anything to fix the problem. So far what I have found is to add to my global logging section: category lame-servers { null; }; Is there a finer scalpel? I believe there are other lame server failures? Like 'RCODE REFUSED' and 'RCODE 15' (these are the 3 I see in my messages)? Can I block logging by RCODE, so as new ones appear I can learn what they mean before /dev/null ing them?
