Very Computer

I have been getting occasional messages in /var/log/messages that look
like this:

/var/log # grep 'Source Route Failed' messages
Sep  1 00:55:14 anis kernel: ICMP: 205.226.64.153: Source Route Failed.
Sep  1 23:52:20 anis kernel: ICMP: 200.246.129.101: Source Route Failed.
Sep  2 11:51:46 anis kernel: ICMP: 204.95.110.85: Source Route Failed.

The second last IP number above also turned up in this context:

Sep  1 23:47:37 anis login: 1 LOGIN FAILURE FROM 200.246.129.101, news^H
Sep  1 23:47:47 anis login: 2 LOGIN FAILURES FROM 200.246.129.101, guest

Should I be concerned?

Also, I installed BIND-4.9.4-P1 and have been getting messages like this:

Sep  1 01:03:05 anis named[7455]: Malformed response from [199.2.252.10].53 (dn_expand failed in query)
Sep  1 01:03:13 anis named[7455]: Malformed response from [204.97.212.10].53 (dn_expand failed in query)

Is this a problem of mine, or theirs? What do these mean?

Finally, the new version of BIND has been occasionally saying things like this:

Sep  1 01:25:52 anis named[7455]: Lame server on 'www-city.europeonline.com' (in 'EUROPEONLINE.com'?): [199.2.252.10].53 'NS2.SPRINTLINK.NET': learnt (A=204.117.214.10,NS=192.33.4.12)

Which I guess means something went wrong and it's learning its way
around the problem?

Thanks for any help,

This could mean somebody tried to break into Your system. You should be
concerned.

Probably not Your problem. You should not worry about that

: Finally, the new version of BIND has been occasionally saying things like this:
: Sep  1 01:25:52 anis named[7455]: Lame server on 'www-city.europeonline.com' (in 'EUROPEONLINE.com'?): [199.2.252.10].53 'NS2.SPRINTLINK.NET': learnt (A=204.117.214.10,NS=192.33.4.12)
You shouldn't see these any longer since europeonline died 2 weeks ago.
