You can safely ignore such lame server messages, or even suppress them
with following entry in the logging section of named.conf:

        category lame-servers {
                null;
        };

A "lame server" is one that should be authoritative for a zone,
according to the NS records that delegate authority for that zone, but
really isn't, perhaps because it hasn't been configured to load the zone
or because it is a secondary master that has expired the zone.
