I have around 200k same entries in my /var/log/messages received from named, like:
Oct 29 15:48:34 server named[878]: client 75.100.*.*#56448: view external: query (cache) 'example.com.co/A/IN' denied
Where example.com.co is an external domain not related to my site and being blocked for some reasons. External view is configured as below:
view "external" {
recursion no;
zone "." IN {
type hint;
file "/var/named/named.ca";
};
zone "example2.com" {
type master;
file "/var/named/example2.db";
};
};
Where example2.com is my own domain. Could you please explain what actually does the log entry mean and what should I do to prevent it from being logged?
Thanks.
