Thanks go to "Kevin Oberman" <oberman_at_es.net> who responsed to
my query regarding Lame delegation in my daemon.log.

My sincere apology to those whose mail clients could not understand
S/MIME.

ORIGINAL QUESTION:

ANSWER:

Kevin pointed out that it is standard BIND notification during foreign
domain lookup:

> This is a standard BIND notification that your server looked up the
> name server for some foreign domain, sent it a query, and found that
> the system was not a name server for that domain. This is a DNS
> configuration problem at the foreign domain and out of your control.
> (If the foreign domain IS under your control fix it!)

There is no reason to concern about these messages. He mentioned that
there is a latest release of BIND at (http://www.isc.org/bind.html)

Since the message logged was not critical, I have no intention of
updating BIND,
therefore I can't comment on the process or any other associated issues
involved.

Sincerely,

Loi Huynh.
