Is it a backup or a secondary? If it's a secondary, you should say
secondary, because it is different than a backup in that a secondary shares
the load of a primary whereas a backup is configured to take over if the
primary fails (secondaries usually are too, but not always). If you can
post a sample of those errors, we can give a specific respoonse. Sometimes
what looks lame and wrong is actually correct.

We get this as well, but we can see no bad effects anywhere, so we don't
pay attention. Keep in mind that BIND notifies you of things that went
right, and not just errors.
