CentOS - Nov 2009 - connection refused resolving - after 5.4 upgrade

Hi all,
prior to 5.4 upgrade, my two DNS servers would only get
'connection refused resolving .....'
on rare infrequent occasions (once or twice a month)
after upgrade to 5.4 I get 500+ per day.
Google has suggestions for
|logging
   category lame-servers null; ;
;

|however this strikes me as severe overkill as it will mask genuine 
problems.
Anyone else noticed this?
Suggestions as to why or what is causing?
Thanks
Rob

Hi,

We see the same thing. Massive amounts of entries in Logwatch report.

Is logging lame servers to /dev/null the answer here ?

bumping my post as I am getting a growing number of errors - they seem 
to occur each hour and from google and reading other posts this appears 
to be due to my amavis / spamasassin seeing the log messages and 
creating a loop.
The question I have is how do I locate the actual trigger - I prefer to 
fix things at the cause, not mask somewhere down-stream.
The only item I can see is the log message coming from named in my 
messages log.
Any ideas appreciated - TIA
Rob
