Just use the logging statement in named.conf to send lame server messages
to null:

logging  {
    channel null {
        null;                 # toss anything sent to this channel
    };
    category lame-servers { null; };
}

Look at the logging statement in the html documentation that you can get
from http://www.isc.org/
