It sounds like your bind was misconfigured and didn't know what the
IPs of the root servers were.  That is a critical situation so I
don't blame it for logging like mad.  Some monitoring to check your
logs and disk space would be advised.

Try logcheck and, well, I'm not sure what.  I use nagios but that's
a bit much for a single machine home user.  There must be something
though.  Maybe one of those desktop widgets that display graphs of
disk space?

Cheers,
Andy
