by Hello.
I'm running a caching-only name server (in order to learn DNS) on my
sandbox (among other things) in order to
I'm having some issues with named completely filing my syslong with *
that I really don't care about...such as:

I read through the man pages for named, and I get this:
But its documentation says nothing about the configuration file'sQuote:> NOTE: The new debugging framework is considerably more so-
> phisticated than it was in older versions of NAMED. The con-

''logging'' statement further than this.
So I dug through my bind documentation, and it was bad. I don't want to
recompile anything, I just want to change a config file somewhere easy
and have it dump this stuff into something like /var/log/named and leave
/var/log/mesasges alone...and if that's not possible, I don't even care
about these messages -- I can just send 'em to /dev/null...
Is there a quick and easy way to do this?
Thanks in advance
