Named Error Message

I have a two named config (one for my private LAN, one for external
access) which is working well. Except that my messages log keeps
getting entries like the following written to it:

Some additional info:  my domain is arcabama.com. But my Windows
workgroup was, until tonight, 76bayview (it is now arcabama.com). The
moniker '76bayview' doesn't occur anywhere in my named config files.

Can someone educate me as to what is going on here, and how I can fix
it? At a guess, I'd say that somehow named is trying to find
references to local hosts in the 76bayview domain... and is
continually failing, since that domain doesn't exist.

Any and all input welcomed! Thanx in advance.
