I now have a local Bind9 running, but I still get a lot of these:

Sep 08 22:11:27.000 [warn] eventdns: All nameservers have failed
Sep 08 22:11:27.000 [notice] eventdns: Nameserver 127.0.0.1:53 is back up
Sep 08 22:15:39.000 [warn] eventdns: All nameservers have failed
Sep 08 22:15:39.000 [notice] eventdns: Nameserver 127.0.0.1:53 is back up
Sep 08 22:16:46.000 [warn] eventdns: All nameservers have failed
Sep 08 22:16:46.000 [notice] eventdns: Nameserver 127.0.0.1:53 is back up

The /var/log/syslog contains a lot of these, but timestamps don't match with the outages reported by Tor (hostnames and IP addresses changed):

Sep  8 22:13:59 tor-exit named[11467]: lame server resolving 'www.example.hk' (in 'example.hk'?): 123.123.123.123#53
Sep  8 22:14:17 tor-exit named[11467]: error (connection refused) resolving 'www.example.com/A/IN': 123.123.123.123#53
Sep  8 22:14:18 tor-exit named[11467]: validating @0x123456789abc: www.example.com A: no valid signature found
Sep  8 22:14:32 tor-exit named[11467]: error (unexpected RCODE REFUSED) resolving 'www.example.de/A/IN': 123.123.123.123#53

Any suggestions?
