I have a Sony Vaio running Red Hat 9 and the freshrpms yum and
caching-nameserver. At the moment /var/log/messages is taking up 21 megs
of disk space, and appears to consist entirely of caching-nameserver
messages:
Oct 17 04:57:49 corran named[2116]: lame server resolving 'localhost.<fake domain>.com' (in 'hippogeek.com'?): 63.209.15.211#53
where <fake domain> has been substituted for the purpose of this email in
place of a DynDNS domain that I still haven't gotten working :)
My resolv.conf file looks like:
nameserver 192.168.1.2
but, of course, 192.168.1.2 belong to the laptop:
corran:/var/log# ifconfig eth0
eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:00:86:3F:B2:D9
inet addr:192.168.1.2 Bcast:192.168.1.255 Mask:255.255.255.0
UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1

RX bytes:2592981457 (2472.8 Mb) TX bytes:1319952843 (1258.8 Mb)

So the question is, where is my log message coming from and how can I put
a stop to it? This puppy doesn't have a lot of disk space and I'm getting
tired of manually zeroing out the logs to keep the disk from filling up :)
