Pls help to solve error log in /var/log/message related to DNS

[chobong]

Deal all,

There are so many logs in my /etc/log/message related to DNS

localhost named[19893]: client 127.0.0.1#53610: query (cache) 'myhostname/MX/IN' denied
localhost named[19893]: client 127.0.0.1#55316: query (cache) 'hostname/AAAA/IN' denied
Jul 31 04:21:58 localhost named[19893]: client 127.0.0.1#41130: query (cache) 'myhostname/AAAA/IN' denied
Jul 31 04:21:58 localhost named[19893]: client 127.0.0.1#52272: query (cache) 'myhostname/AAAA/IN' denied
Jul 31 04:21:58 localhost named[19893]: client 127.0.0.1#33580: query (cache) 'myhostname' denied
Jul 31 04:21:58 localhost named[19893]: client 127.0.0.1#37168: query (cache) 'myhostname' denied
....

when I used 'netstat -tap | grep dns' , it showed
getnameinfo failed
getnameinfo failed

I am using Centos 5.6 64bit and bind 9.3.9
Here is my name.conf

options
{ listen-on-v6 {none;};
directory "/var/named"; // the default
dump-file "data/cache_dump.db";
statistics-file "data/named_stats.txt";
memstatistics-file "data/named_mem_stats.txt";
dnssec-enable yes;
recursion no;
allow-notify {my static-ip-server; };
allow-recursion {my static-ip-server; };
allow-transfer {my static-ip-server; };
version "DNS server";
auth-nxdomain no;

};
logging {
channel default_debug {
file "data/named.run";
severity dynamic;
};
};

include "/etc/named.rfc1912.zones";
include "/etc/named.root.hints";
include "/etc/named.conf.local";
include "/etc/rndc.key";

Could you please help me to fix this problem?
Thank you so much!

Do you have working nameservers in your /etc/resolv.conf? Does

ping -c4 google.com

work?

Thanks falko

I have set DNS in /etc/resolv.conf, and now I don't see the error "getnameinfo failed" again.

But there are still many logs in /var/log/message, how can I disable them? Or can I ignore them?

Pls help me. Thank you!

What exactly is in /var/log/messages now?

[chobong]

There are many lines below. Can I ignore them?

No. Can you add 127.0.0.1 to your named.conf?

options
{ listen-on-v6 {none;};
directory "/var/named"; // the default
dump-file "data/cache_dump.db";
statistics-file "data/named_stats.txt";
memstatistics-file "data/named_mem_stats.txt";
dnssec-enable yes;
recursion no;
allow-notify {my static-ip-server; 127.0.0.1;};
allow-recursion {my static-ip-server;  127.0.0.1;};
allow-transfer {my static-ip-server;  127.0.0.1;};
version "DNS server";
auth-nxdomain no;

};
