[plug] Weird named messages in syslog

This occurs when the advertised NS servers for a domain are not
authoritive .. ie: are not the delegated masters for the domain.  

Most commonly, I think this happens when people modify the NS records in
their zonefiles and cause them to mismatch the master delegation on the
root servers.  There are a few other causes however ... google.

You can stop this logging by adding the following to named.conf:

logging {
	category lame-servers { null; };
};
