Named: lame server resolving

In my system log I keep seeing:
named[1192]: lame server resolving '25.150.204.216.in-addr.arpa' (in '204.216.in-addr.arpa'?):
216.204.0.33#53
1. What does this mean?
2. Is this a security problem?
2.a If so how can I stop or block it?
Thanks,
Sam Rogers.

Simply means, that the remote DNS server is not configured correctly.
Domain resolving is delegated to a server which is not authoritative for
that domain/zone.

No, if these messages do not belong to any of your own servers. These
are faults by other DNS admins. Just ignore these messages.

Edit your /etc/named.conf with following in the options {} section:
logging {
// ignore all "lame server" errors
category lame-servers{ null; };
};

I think I understand what your saying. My ISP that I point to for my DNS resovling is the one asking
my DNS server to resolve this. And I do not have that zone configured in my name server.
If this is the case then I not as worried as I was. I thought someone was trying to use my name
server to resolve or break into my server.
Thank you,
